Jonathan, helps if you read the entire Email. Me in that case...
This above mentioned data directory has only database connections. The file-based data are only few and somewhere else because their update cycle differs to the DB and styles. That is done with a similar script that runs monthly. The tiles are also in a different directory again, because there is no update rhythm. There are mostly imagery tiles and when we have new imagery I cut new tiles and then I back-up. I suppose this is how most production installations operate and why I keep these three store types separate. Depending on the size of your stores you may decide whether it is a good way to separate or not. Stuffing everything in one directory back this up and knowing that all is there has its advantages too.
