    help question database _bak tables????

    Why are the _bak tables present in the mySQL database??

    They exist since upgrading from 1.3.8.x to 1.3.9h.

    Can these be safely deleted from the database server??

    Thank you, Tom

    Default Re: database _bak files????

    Your post is talking about "files". Do you really mean "tables"?

    If you're talking about core tables that have a _bak suffix added during the upgrade, then yes you can delete them if your site is running fine.
