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

Kewl.

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!
