Sorry to hijack the thread (but I will anyway)

I just ran into the same problem:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM postindex;

MySQL Error  : MySQL client run out of memory
Error Number : 2008

I'm using the "Database Backup" tool found in the Maintenance tab of the Admin control panel.

My VB install is growing up and I guess this backup solution may not be ideal. I CAN backup the database from the mySQL Admin UI, so I don't think there is a database error (just guessing).

Like hundreds of other users, I know just enough to install the software and manage the board. As far as php and SQL go - I'm pretty dumb.

So my question is: with a growing VB database are there any other automated tools that will backup the VB database?

Thanks!
