i have had my XOOPS site for over a year and a half now and somehow while cleaning up some redundant old databases i managed to remove my long running database.
other than the usual beg the host to gimmie tha backup (which they might have) is there anything else i can do...

yours - a bit miffed

other then read up on databasemanagement? No, not much. Don't touch the files, as they're configured for the database. Your host should have a backup, I hope it's not from too long ago...

Good luck!

YAY i managed to get my database back from the hosts and its only missing a few days!
I have recreated the DB user and pwd but importing the sql seems to take ages. its a 2.5 meg .sql file.
I just created a new database with the correct name and waited for the upload (sql dump) to work itself out and it all seems fine!!!!

yippie..
oh and cos i just needed the sql backups they didnt charge me..

Is there a simple way of backing up the db say on a weekly basis myself other than via MySQL admin?

Hi,
maybe Brash's Post in this thread is also relevant.
Good luck
Alan
