What operating system are you using? It is possible to call System (and database) commands within java to execute the mysqldump script. For example for basically any operating system you can execute a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String cmdline)

The preferred method of backing up is to use the mysqldump script. Can anyone: 1) tell me whether this is possible -- i.e., running the mysqldump script from a servlet 2) give me any clues/details on the best way to do this? Thanks, Frank. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
