Help on Backing up MySQL Databases

seanooi

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, so please move it to it's respective section if it's not in the right one.

I'm currently using IPB 1.3 and am planning to upgrade to the newer version, IPB 2.0.4

I've read the tutorials provided by IPB and they suggest that I backup my SQL database before attempting the upgrade.

ok you don't have root access so you can't do what they said but maybe cron job can do it, but here's how to backup your MySQL databases.

1. login to http://***.frihost.net/cpanel
2. goto Backup
3. Click on the name of your forum database
4. A popup will appear to ask where you wanna save the file.
5. Choose where you wanna save it and there you go, your backup's done.
