Hi Guy's

site is hdoz.org.au

sofware is 1.3.0.53b

I've realised that the backup files that I have been doing are tiny 47k, and when I actually looked and read the backup window even after I select all tables...it says you must select at least one table?

I must be doing something wrong??? any ideas???

checked the backup folder is 0777

As always, any help would be great

You must select all the tables, as in screendhot you see below:

 

Regards.

if i select the first few..... then I get a decent backup (but obviously not all)

if i select all...virtually nothing

if i select all - a couple.... still nothing????

is it a size thing..does it really matter

thanks again, but no difference... tried different browsers and different PC's to see if that was it too

download and install mysql dumper on your server, to do the backups.

IP incorporated backup system was a bit buggy

ok I'll have a look, but might be a little beyond me???

my control panel for the server allows me to do backups of the site and database is this similar?

I would say, yes

Site backup: you will get a .zip file of all your files on the server (I guess)

DB backup: you will get a .gz file of your database
                  unzip it and open it with a texteditor and should see the entries
                  test it
