I strongly second that. I've long since learned to back-up before any EP upload (and I try to get my sister and her people to do the same on her sites.)

And Dr. Byte's back-up mod really simplifies that, no longer having to go in to cpanel and myphpadmin (or whatever its called) to manually download the DB. In fact, first mod I install now on my various demo sites is this DB back-up mod, as I'm always messing around on those sites. (Only thing: this DB backup mod doesn't seem to work well if your DB/UN password has strange characters other than numbers and letters.)
