Brand new server install. Backup script failed via cron first time. Tried to run manually and after further investigation found that the issue is password in /root/.my.cnf. The password doesn't work (sudo mysql -u root -p).

I was about to change the MariaDB root password after stopping the database and restarting with --skip-grant-tables (following this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/418 … password), but wanted to get input first. Is this the right course of action?
