Thanks for your reassurance. That makes me feel much more comfortable about this.

Although MariaDB is installed as a fresh install and as I noted above, this particular issue seems to only affect the Redmine appliance?! The other strange thing is that my "fix" script essentially does exactly what the initial build code should be doing?!

Anyway, I 100% completely agree with your suggestion of taking a daily backup!

We do encourage use of TKLBAM (our built in backup tool) linked to the TurnKey Hub (our SaaS product) for that. That's our main source of revenue and allows me to dedicate my time to TurnKey and pay a couple of other devs part time.

Although I am a strong supporter of "free software" in both senses. So while we hope people find our appliances useful enough to contribute in some way (which you've done here), there is zero obligation to use TKLBAM/Hub, and we don't cripple TurnKey appliances in any way. Your suggestion of a DB dump (i.e. using mysqldump) is completely valid.
