What I've setup the backup procedures to do every night is to
have the command procedure dump the queues, entries, and other
details to text files which then get backed up as part of the
backup routine.

This gives me a reasonably up to date view of the queue configuration
in human readable format which can be used to recreate the configuration
if the queue manager database is corrupted for some reason.
