Backing up with Mysqldumper
I'm trying to use Mysqldumper to backup my database, but it only makes a 8mb file everytime i run it, while my database is 40mb.
How do I make it do the full backup? |

How are you backing up? Through the browser or crontab?

Through the browser. I don't know how crontab works

I suggest you ask at the support site for the software you are using.

Does the browser say dump finished when it finishes backing up (at the bottom of the page)?

I can't see dump finished when the backup has ended. Here's what I get when it has finished:
Code:
http://i15.tinypic.com/8bqzfwh.gif My database details: 139 Tables, 81737 Records, 42.29 MB I haven't touched any of the default settings, apart from directory protection |

You do realize that is a compressed file, uncompress the backup file and import it into a "NEW TEST DB" and compare it to your live site.

Yep, the dump should be complete. It's just compressed, that's why it's smaller.

Alright, when I unzipped it, it went on the 40megs. Thanks guys.
I've got another problem though. The backup was made from a 3.6.8 live board and I've installed 3.7 b3 on my local machine. However, when I try to restore the database to the 3.7 installation from mysqldumper, I get some errors, like that: Quote:
