trev-gdr Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well if the recent event in where a GSP failed to have a MySQL Backup, I think it put a little fear in us all to make sure we have some backups. TCAdmin does have a mysql backup feature now, but unfortunately most of us are only human and forget to manually back it up all the time. It would be nice to have a feature where you can periodically set your mysql database to backup to a remote ftp server. So then you can set it, and not have to worry about making manual backups yourself every week. I have asked around to see if this is possible to do just through mysql itself, but I haven't got any clear answers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You can use the MYSql Admin tools to perform automated backups. The installer is freely availible on their website. As for pushing it offsite you can use a batch file or an automated FTP program. Here is a link to a program that I have used. And it is FREE! http://www.nchsoftware.com/fling/index.html Easiest thing would be to have Fling ftp your entire MYSql Directory up to your FTP server at a scheduled time each day.
