Backup Oscommerce db with MySql Administrator ?

I use a perl script that calls mysqlbackup instead. Then I can run it via cron. I'm sure I've posted it somewhere here before, but I can post it again if you find it useful.

My reasons not to use that backup:

1) no compression

2) no offsite backup

3) no automated backup (I have to remember)

 

So, I cron a script to accomplish both of those goals.

you can create a cron job, look in tips and tricks for a complete understanding of how to do that.

 

then you can use this for mysql

 

mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD --add-drop-table database > database.sql
