Backing up with phpMyAdmin 3.4.2

[mcpisik]

Hi,
I've always used phpmyadmin to backup.
Only extra tick I've put is the Add drop table.
Others have been default.

New version 3.4.2 has a new layout and the option for..
Quick-display only the minimal options, or
Custom

Do I need to keep going in and selecting Add drop table?
Or can I just do a quick backup...
Thanks!

Check it and see what the quick does or dosen't do

Yeah I tried it, but didn't show me any selections. Just saves it to a folder.
So I have a sql file, but is there a way to know if its suitable for use later as a backup?

You can inspect the file but guess if you do not know or can not determine what type of backup it generates that you select Custom
