It is a cron job you can run in some of the settings.

nice tutorial...gonna try this one too...thanks bro....;)

nice, i tried it... works perfectly for all my db's :D can even ftp them to another backup server :o gotta test the cronjob thingy x_x

I have MySQLDumper running without any problem. This is a great tool to use. Thanks for the recommendation.

I would like to add something done like sending an email to an email account on another server. How would I do that?

This is a great tool for me as my host company Webserve.ca is trying to hold us hostage by not allowing us to do DB backup's. I have one question, when looking at my backups in an editor what is the output I should be looking for in the file to let me know it was done correctly.
Great product easy to install highly recommended it.
The output I got at the bottom of the table was this

i missed any size of attach table in transfering

can i restore and combine just this table?

Installed and backed up. What a piece of cake. Great post!

Now my question for anyone with the time to explain. I want to install a test forum to upgrade with vb4. How do I go about restoring this backup to a new database that I can then use for my test forum? Do I even need to make a new database? I am a total n00b at this so forgive my ignorance.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a brand new forum and worked so much to get all the content on their. www.wfgsp.com

Now I need to know something. I am currently still a large noob but I get most things if simply explained.

So please please answer the following question for me :)


Other then backing up with database with the proiveded method, do i also have to download the physical forum through ftp and upload that to the new server? So basically to transfer to a new server. I just have to upload all the ftp files and upload the database with the provided method here?

Please guide me steps to successfully move my forum to a new server.

Thank you so much in advance, I will be most grateful.
