Backup MYSQL Plugin vs phpMyAdmin

[Crunch]

I've been performing manual backups via phpMyAdmin, but just found out about the Backup MYSQL Plugin. It's quicker to use the plugin, but I noticed some differences in the backup sql file.

When I backed up my database via phpMyAdmin, the file size of the .sql (after uncompressing it) was 6.32 MB

When I used the Backup MYSQL Plugin, the file size (after uncompressing it) was 5.99 MB

Total lines in sql made by phpMyAdmin backup: 33776
Total lines in sql made by Backup MYSQL: 3019

There are also a lot of commented out lines that don't exist in the phpMyAdmin backup, such as:
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
LOCK TABLES
UNLOCK TABLES

It would appear all the data is present but the formatting is completely different. Is this anything to worry about?

Thanks.

If you check the "Skip Lock Tables" box when using the addon, those extra lines won't show.

Additionally, the addon prepares its output similar to how the "extended inserts" option in phpMyAdmin would do it. This keeps the file size smaller and processing time faster.
If your phpMyAdmin backup is done using the options suggested in this Tutorial, your results will likely be more similar: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=103

Given that all the data is present, it's just a formatting/efficiency difference.
