Automated Backup via CRON ??

[Ryk]

There are external automated db backup options - try googling and hotscripts.

I vaguely recall not having any success when trying to Cron the backup module - but that may have been down to lack of knowledge at the time. I now use a script provided by my host which they use for their own backups.

Hi,

Have a look at http://www.ducea.com/2006/05/27/back...tomysqlbackup/
I am using this myself.

Thanks guys.

I ended up getting the script discussed in this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60074 to work.

Although i might look into AutoMySqlBackup script at a later stage when i have more time.

Thanks for your help.
