I've had yum database corruption couple of times recently. What I'd like

the yum database nightly via a cron job i.e something like "tar cvf

run nightly. I am not sure which directories to backup so that yum & rpm
databases
can be fully restored.
Yum doesn't have a database, at least not one that it won't recreate for
itself if necessary. You could backup the config files though, /etc/yum.*
The rpm database is in /var/lib/rpm.
