Backup questions

The few installations of snort I did in production environment had only the log file ("alerts") which Snort was writing too. This file was massaged and created neat/meaningful web pages and alerts were sent out to the admins. At the end of the day I did backup the "alerts" file to the backup (Tivoli) server and then copied /dev/null over "alerts" for the next day. Now I plan to use the Snort + Acid combination. In this setup, Acid seems to use MySql (or other preffered SQL server). At the end of the day, I would like to backup these alerts/warnings for a few months. In this case, what do I backup? There is no "alerts" file. If it is the database, then what are the database files that I need to backup? Once backup is done, how do I clean up the DB for the next day alerts/warnings? Thank you in advance for any help.
