>>>Questions:
What exactly is contained in the dump file? Is it text or...? <<<
The actual data stored is in a MySQL dump format. i.e a text file, with things like;
Code:
INSERT INTO lsql_Links ...
>>>If the need arises, how do I use/restore the above file? <<<
Just use something like PHPMyAdmin or MySQLMan and do an import of the .sql file. It will import the data into the appropriate database.
>>>There are "advanced" options in the script, such as: <<<
These are just things that you may/may not want the script to use. Things like 'add drop columns' and stuff like that. Details on these extra functions can be found at MySQL.com.
>>>Finally, [Andy] is there a new[er] version of this script? The page on your site is broken. <<<
Unfortunmatly not. I took it off the market after a major flaw was found in it, whereas it kept on re-backing up the backup file...and thefore creating a HUGE backup file...which contained backups of the backup.
