title: redis dump.rdb / saving small files
body: <h2>Context</h2>
  <ul>
  <li>I'm using redis. The database is &lt; 100 MB.</li>
  <li>However, I want to make daily backups.</li>
  <li>I'm also running on Ubuntu Server 12.04</li>
  </ul>
  <p>When type in:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>redis-cli</strong> save</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I don't know where dump.rdb is saved to (since redis is started as a service and not in my local directory).</p>
  <h2>Questions:</h2>
  <ol>
  <li><p>How do I find where redis is saving my dump.rdb to?</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Is there someway that I can specify a filename to 'save', so I type in something like:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>redis-cli</strong> save ~/db-2012-06-24.rdb</p>
  </blockquote>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>Thanks</p>
