    • Re: Restoring a Backup

    Posted by Damian Parker

    Hi,

    Database Backup and Restore from the admin menu is broke 😑

    Chealer9 added this to the branch-1-8: Warning : Backups are known not to work since some time now. Don't rely on them. Chealer9 20031117

    But I think this also extends to the 1.7.5

    If you need to backup the database the best way is with either phpMyAdmin downloadable from http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadminQuestion or just using the mysqldump command directly at console.

    To backup:
    mysqldump -u dbuser -p dbname > dump.sql
    will ask for the password and backup dbname to dump.sql

    To restore:
    mysql -u dbuser -p dbname < dump.sql
    will ask for the password
