BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted August 23, 2006 I'm sorry, the only backup that Xisto server admins run is the entire server files--not SQL. Therefore individual SQL backups are responsibility of individual hosting account owner.See if you performed (by accidently) SQL backup by going under cPanel > BackUp. Otherwise, I'm sorry.

michaelper22 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 There is a tool in cPanel dedicated to organizing backups of your account. From the cPanel home page, click the backup icon in the Site Management section. There are a few backup options; you can have it make a backup of your whole site, download backups of individual domains, and, just what you are looking for, individual MySQL databases (see the attachments I posted for descriptions of these option). And all of these backups are zipped up in the .gz format for you to download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michaelper22 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Well I had always been wondering what cron jobs were for, I was going to look it up in the cpanel document but I keep forgeting.Cron jobs can be used to schedule backup scripts (or just about any script or program for that matter; I'm not a linuxhead so don't quote me on that), but the backup tool in cPanel does the job quickly and easily.I have yet to experiment with domain backups, but I suppose it could hlp you get a quick download of just one part of your site.
