I have a few questions, first of

My database is 30mb, is there a way to keep get it smaller?
Also i would like to archive a few days of database backups and then have a cron script that will remove the old ones so i dont build up a few gig just in backups.

Also if i needed to restore one of these files, how would i do it?
Is there a way i can restore it from script /home/myname/forum_db_backup/
It would take a hour to download it from the server and iv never been able to restore it via php myadmin, (any file over 10mb) as it stops responding and looks up, probally due to timeouts etc.

Thats why id like the server side to restore to save me having to download and upload etc.

Anyone know how this can be done?/or make a script/cron for this hack

Thanks heaps
