Only partial manual db backup??

Hi all,

This is driving me crazy!

I decided to to a full recovery on another server for piece of mind and I discovered that my database backups just quit at around record 5000 in the admin activity log.

I have followed the instructions I found somewhere here:

These are the ideal settings to do a backup via phpMyAdmin:

NOTE: BEFORE clicking on "Export", you should select your database from the dropdown, so that its tables are displayed. THEN click on the "Export" tab.

  • CHECKED: Structure
  • CHECKED: Add DROP TABLE
    * CHECKED: Add AUTO_INCREMENT value
    * CHECKED: Enclose table and fieldnames with backquotes
    * CHECKED: Data
    * CHECKED: Complete Inserts
    * CHECKED: Extended Inserts
    * CHECKED: Use hexadecimal for binary fields
    * Export Type: INSERT
    * CHECKED: Save as File
    * Filename Template: DB
    * Compression: "gzipped" (or whatever you prefer... gzip makes smaller files)

Additionally I have tried setting "Maximal length of created query" to 5,000,000 and tried leaving the field empty.

The server I am creating the db backup from is running phpmyadmin v 2.9.0.2

Can someone point me in the right direction to create a complete db backup?

Thanks for your help,

Steve
