Backup:

Code:

mysqldump --opt -uUSERNAME -p DATABASE-NAME > /path/to/backup.sql

Restore:

Code:

mysql -uUSERNAME -p DATABASE-NAME < /path/to/restore.sql

Change USERNAME to your MySQL username, and DATABASE-NAME to the name of the DB to backup/restore allong with a valid path and filename.

Ive now suzzed it using the hack that is in beta shame they may not work on vb3 when it is finally released though.

Thanks for help though

FWIW, phpMyAdmin and any PHP-based method is extremely unreliable. I never did understand why Jelsoft included a link in the admin CP to make backups...and as a result I believe they added a warning to the link that is in vB3. SSH, Telnet, or via your host are the most reliable ways.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
