Thanks for this great script – it saves me a lot of time! This is definitly a must-have tool for webmasters and developers. Would be helpful if there are the empty folders 0, 1, 2, 3 in “backups” to avoid errors if only the first mysql-account is used. Keep up the good work!

Hi, have just purchased this script and trying to run it on windows iis server which has PHP Version 5.2.6 – am getting lots of “Undefined variable” errors after logging in…. can this run on a windows server ?

Hi there,
Firstly, thank you for the purchase.
It’s probably due to the error reporting being set to strict in your operating environment. Are you able to lessen the error reporting in your environment? If not, contact me via my profile and I will give you some lines of code to add to the script to work around this.
Thanks.
Hi – great and handy little package, thank you Bricktop
I`ve added a small tweak to my version which shows the backup file size, if anyone would like to add it …
... can`t paste the code directly here …. but have passed my code snippet to Bricktop.
cheers

Yep, got it, thanks a lot wackers. Will incorporate it into the next update.
Great script.
Am using it in my development station before I deploy to the live site. On both stations it work flawlessly!!
Well worth the $8 
Under List Backups, It would be great to have an optional textfield to rename the filename-backup.sql file. Many times I make a crucial backup before any major change to the site.

Thank you for the purchase and the kind comments!
Thanks you also for the feature request. I have a few minor additions already requested for this script so will take note and implement in the next script update!
This script works great, just have a question on a feature. I run this on a development server that other designers use. Is it possible to backup all the databases (preferably as separate files) that a mysql user has access to without specifying each in the array in the settings file?
I run the cron file nightly and it would be nice to have it completely automated and backup any new databases as well as not backup databases that have been moved and no longer are in staging.
No big deal if not, just was curious if possible, Thanks!

Thanks for the purchase and for the comments!
I understand the request but for security reasons this just wouldn’t be possible on any platform or application, it’s just how MySQL is configured.
Hope this helps.
This looks perfect for my needs. What would you reccomend for the file side of things? I am thinking of keeping a running backup in dropbox and multiple locations. Anything else i need to know? I have sen a few other scripts but some have poor feedback and this seems as if it at least will cover my DB needs with no hassle. Thanks.

Hi there, thanks for the comments. This script will certainly cover your Database needs with quick and easy management of all the backup files created.
As far as the file side of things goes I would agree that the dropbox solution sounds good but it depends how often your files change. If a once a week backup will suffice then a simple file copy CRON job would do (if your host allows for CRON jobs)

Thanks!
The only way i could get this to work was to create the folder 0 and chmod it to 777 then it functions perfectly. I am concerned about having a folder open on my server.. Am I missing something? or is there something I can do to maintain security but still have this great tool?

Thanks for the purchase and for the comment, I’ve never heard anyone say they’ve had this problem before. It could be down to your hosting ebvironment’s security settings, or it could be that PHP is running in a different mode to “stock” PHP (i.e. in CGI mode)
I’ll do some further investigations, thanks.
• Quick Backup – OK
• Manual Backup – It works – but a warning:
Warning: Missing argument 7 for backup() in /home/mydomain/backup/mysql-backup.php on line 254
The problem with national characters.
Base coded in utf8_general_ci
After the backup and recovery from a backup characters are swapped.
