can't find MySQL Backup Tool

[CheapStairParts]

The faq says
Use either the "Backup MySQL Database" contribution under Admin->Tools to do the backup of your database

I have no option under there.

zencart 1.3.5

Did you go to the download section on this site, download and install that mod?

[CheapStairParts]

Nope! Didn't know I had to. Doing it now. Thanks!

The keyword in the FAQ is contribution - that means it is an optional add-on.

[CheapStairParts]

in that case, rewrite the faq to state you need to download and install the contribution before you can go to admin->tools to use it.

I have downloaded mySQL Backup mod but not sure where to put it. The readme says "upload all files from the "admin" folder of this ZIP as-is to your server". Where on the server? Root directory? When I put them there I still don't get a listing under Admin> Tools. I've tried a couple of other places too.

It means upload files contained in the zip to admin folder of your zencart install.

So you mean, the "includes" folder and backup_mysql.php file should end up directly in the shop's admin folder? There's already a folder there called "includes", I don't want to overwrite it.

Yes, you ADD the files to /admin/ includes folder, NOT replace the /admin/includes folder.
File paths are defined in zip file.. i.e NOT all those files go into /admin/includes/

I have carefully added the files and folders to the corresponding folders in "Admin". So backup_mysql.php is in Admin. The folders in the Includes folder in the download (languages, extra_datafiles, boxes) are in the includes folder in my Admin. Still I get no "Database Backup-MySQL" in my Tools menu. Could it be a permissions issue? I am hosting the cart locally for now so have no CHMOD but have removed the "read-only" on the back-ups folder.
