database question
What file do I need to download to backup my database and where should it be located? I've had it deleted before and I don't want it happening again without a backup.

Thanks.

Backups are found in the "backups" directory.

Hi,

You may want to also consider using MySQLMan to backup your database using the SQL Dump command. It does a more complete backup.

Cheers,

Alex

What is the name of the file? Also, my backup directory is empty.

You may have to turn backups "on" in the admin setup area.
