Aw: Re: Backup
Hey
I also do the backup with mysqldump, and I realy advise you to do it this way! because its the proper way to save the content of a database!
mysqldump --opt -u -p > 'outputfile'
this is the line I use to do so (cronjob) after that run, I backup the whole server on tape so I even have History. I realy like that solution, because I can even use that file for my testinstallations of new releases.
