How can I set 'Back-up / Restore DB Table Properties only for Link, Categories, Reviews & User' .

i.e. for a site I am working on, I finished creating all table properties (link, categories, reviews & users) & would like to create a backup for them. Just in case, I have to reinstall everything or have another setup on test domain.

I know I can do import/export using GLinks admin (Database -> Import/Export) but that does not seem to be doing the backup for table properties.

Thank you.

The easiest way is just to backup with mysqldump in SSH:


Then also backup the ./admin/defs folder, as this holds all the .def files (which are the DB definitions for GLinks to use)

I actually went to PhpMyAdmin & backed-up the database, It seems like the fields are also in there. However, your method seems straight forward too :)

btw.. I had no clue about backing up .def file folder.. thanks for adding that info.. now I feel little more confident about playing with the site functions & being able to restore if something goes wrong.

Thanks again :)
