OK I just noticed something, after I type in the password and hit enter, it doesn't do anything but after a while comes up with the bash thing, after doing that I checked the backup folder and a backup was present! So the 20 minutes you say it takes was misleading, even though I have 50k posts, 5k threads, 1k members in my DB
great tut TECK, it's a very fast way of backing up.
One Question: Is this the equivalent of downloading the database everytime from the adminCP? Does this contain the exact same information, all users, posts, threads, template edits, stylesets etc?
