Best backup method

Hi,

I am using windows XP and the WAMP2.0 install for Apache, Mysql and PHP.
The problem I face now is that I need a script or method to back a db up weekly or whatever.

Ideally what I want to achieve is to have my application running on my machine and my database logging the data. Then this other script or application creates a backup of my database. Which I can then burn onto cd or whatever

re: Best backup method

Hi.

I would look into mysqldump and the Windows Task Scheduler.

You should be able to use the two to automatically generate a database backup.
