Thank you very much, i'm not sure why they took this feature away, it's a must have

thank you Paul, this is a brilliant mod, just whay I have been looking for to backup my 896mb database, this is a must have for large databases

Hi Paul,

Excellent piece. Installed. Thank you very much. I am using VB version 4.0.1.

Created 704 MB backup file.

I created one backup file.

I am newbie. I have two questions.

1) If anything goes wrong and if I have to restore the datebase, how do I use this backup file to restore all tables ?

2) As you see it has taken around 3 mins to create backup for website. At any point of time there are about 150-200 users in my site. Is it recommendable to close the forums when the backup runs ? Or is it ok to leave the forums open during the backup ?

Thank you very much. It's nice to have this running when I'm going to be away for a few day.

Takes some pressure off. I look forward to checking it tomorrow morning and having a backup in place before I even start my day.

Thanks bro.

Now, for the $64,000 question:

What if something goes wrong? How do you restore the backups?

Thanks!! :)

sorry. im really noob when it comes to backups. I usually use the mysql GUI in windows for restore. Does the combined backup file end with *.sql?
