Was this information Helpful?

I was toying around with Magento and noticed they have a mysql database backup utility in the admin section. Has the ubercart development team considered anything like this? Atm, whenever I do backups I load up phpmyadmin and export the db.

*edit*
Just spent 30 seconds and google'd drupal backup module and found http://drupal.org/project/backup

Has anyone used this before?

*2nd edit*
Anyone want to share their preferred backup method?

Re: database backups

Yup, I've used the backup module before and it has worked well (NOTE: depending on your webhost's configuration it might not be able to do SQL dumps so check the .sql file after doing a backup to make sure it's not empty). My only problem with the module that currently there isn't a way to do periodic backups using cron.

Re: Re: database backups

Just found another backup module for drupal, and I like it the best so far.

http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate

It is a database backup module that allows crons.
