Well, it's pretty straightforward if you ask me. There are install-instructions in the zipfile

k.. I installed it ok..

Is there a easy way to back my MySql database?

Thanks

[Mas*Mind]

look in the mysql forum, plenty of threads on that subject

phpMyAdmin has an option to SQL-dump the database. It's quite handy although I sometimes have problems with it.

Th easiest way is to use the database backup function in the control panel. You should save a copy on your server and a copy on your hard disk, in case anything goes nuts :)

The easiest way is to set a cron job which makes the daily backup for you and name the file after the date! ;)

[Theiggsta]

Cron Tab you mean :)

if you dont know how that is done, consult the OS manual for Cron Tabs, or ask your server admin. But if the forums get many posts a day and your paranoid, do daily backups. Otherwise, weekly backups will do just fine during off-peak hours.

I stay with my daily backup!

Safe is safe!

And I still can delete the unneeded file per ftp and only download the file I want!
