Hallo!

I came across one of the best database backup utility I have ever seen. I was wondering if someone could convert this into a XOOPS module. [b]Do not underestimate the power of this lovely utility. Just install and see the beautify of programming!

Here are some of the functions provided by mysqldumper:
* mysqldumper can read Dumpfiles from other Scripts via the integrated parser (for example from phpMyAdmin)
* Security: mysqldumper can generate a .htaccess-file to protect itself and all of your backup-files
* mysqldumper can do Multipart-Backups. That means: mysqldumper can automatically split the dumpfile if it gets bigger than your chosen size. When you want to restore a backup and choose the wrong part - it doesn' matter => mysqldumper will notice that and will get the correct startfile automatically.
* automatic Errormodul
* MiniSql => You have access to your MySQL-Tables. You can delete tables, edit or insert data. You can run/ save any SQL-Statement.
* Database-Overview: look at running processes or even stop them
* very good file-overview => backups of the same database are shown as one entry. Click it to see all of the files.
* automatic file-deletion => set your own rules to delete old backups. Specify the age or the number of files when it will be deletetd automatically to save server webspace.
* Perl Cronscript done => all features of the PHP-Script are now integrated in the Perlscript that can be started via a Cronjob
* Configuration can be set seperatly for each Script (PHP and Perl)
* befor you start a backup all your parameters are shown again, so you definitely know what you are doing
* Send Emails with or without your dumpfile attached / you can set the maximum size of the attachement. If it grows bigger it won't be attached.
* Send dumpfiles via FTP to another Server. This is also working using the multipart feature.
* Faster backups und restore (compared to older versions of mysqldumper)
* ect. ect. ect ...
