MySQL backup script

    I have written a couple of PHP scripts to backup a MySQL database. For this backup script I created a button on the Manage Form page that you just have to click and it will take you to a form to fill out to back up your database.

    I've been using it for myself and decided that maybe others would like it also. So I am making it available to everyone.

    Here is the link:

    If you have problems with unzipping the file, just email me and I will send them off to you since they are so small.

    Full instructions for installation are provided.

    Mashie!

    Hi Yuniar, I was wondering if their has been any enhancements to the backup process to make it easier. I found this thread but the script link no longer works. I think it would be smart to add some kind of backup-script to the software from the ADMIN SECTION. Right now your requiring a MySQL Database backup and then the folder, which a normal site admin does not have access to the databases. Of course I have it but it sure would be easier to have a ONE BUTTON solution from within the admin section that allows each form or all forms to be backed up.

    Any updates in this area or access to a simple script.
    Looking forward to hearing back.
    Sincerely,
    Roy

    Hi Roy -- There is now an option to backup the structure of your forms (not the entries data though). You can go to Settings and will find the export tool there.
