You read the whole config file ?

The comment for the setting seems obvious to me - please can you explain why it isn't - because you're not the first person to ask, and I really don't understand why.

yea u right . maybe the reason was my bad English or ..

thanks anyway for ur help

Anyone?

I've been backing up religiously using this mod, then manually deleting any backups that were older than 7 days. I've been using "Combine=0" and ending up with many many files.

What would be the advantage (if any) to going to a single file backup with "Combine=1"?

Second, is there a web site, or anywhere I can go to learn how I would restore my database, in either form?

Thanks

The advantage of single files is you can restore a single table if required. The disadvantage is you need to join them if you want to restore everything in one go. It's personal choice.

You should add how to combine the files in your first post Paul :)

Distance

That's entirely dependant on your OS - and I draw the line at teaching people how to use their Operating System. :)

Thanks for releasing this mod. It works like a charm.
