gud day who read my post 
do u want an automatic/scedueled backup?
otherwise use PHPMyAdmin’s export function.
yes Q1712… do have one? can u please send it to me? if ok to u:) tnx
no, i backup the DB files directly, but it’s easy to write one. what OS r u using?
i use windows XP and ubuntu 7.10
first of all take a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ … ntion.html and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html
are u able to call mysqldump via exec?
i’d prefer a sh script, but that won’t work on Windows.
are u able to call mysqldump via exec? <-- not yet im practising how to use it. tnx for the idea
