-----Original Message----- From: John Kaspar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] mysql backup solution I've got a large mysql database (~400 megs) on a host that I need to backup regularly. If I use phpMyAdmin's dump features, it just freezes. I've currently got a php script that goes thru each table and backs up about 10,000 records iteratively (for example accounts1.txt, accounts2.txt). But it just backs them up to the host itself. (a) I need it to zip up the files to make them smaller, (b) I would like the script to save the zipped files to a designated folder on my local harddrive via ftp download (without me having to say where, or giving it an okay). Is that possible? Does someone have a better backup method? Thanks, John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
