thank ya

Well, it doesn't seem to be working for the T-F backups. I am going to recheck everything and make I inserted all the right values before blaming the script.

i think it is a problem with servage's server or something.

works for my website. I wanna thank you for sharing this.

Hm.. I get the email with the attachment but the attachment is 0Bytes.

Did yu do anything different >.< Aparently it works for everyone whos not on servage.

He is not on Servage , that's why. Plus, he's got a very small database and that's why script works for him.

I got word from servage tho, that they will add a new feature which will allow us to get full mySQL backup without timing out or anything.

That's why I said it only works for people not on servage since his site isn't :o

You may want to protect this script using .htaccess so no one else can access it. Dont use a common name like backup.php or something like that. You can do the same for other files like admin.php etc...

You can protect the file name and restrict access, heres an example using the .htaccess file:

<Files backup.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from myisp.com
allow from 10.0.*
allow from *.myisp.com
</Files>

or

<Files /user/www/backup.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from myisp.com
allow from 10.0.*
allow from *.myisp.com
</Files>

You must be very carefull when having these type of scripts on your site. Make sure you secure the files.

^^ good idea, thanks

And another good idea, would be to great a new FTP account for the script. Do not use your root's account for the FTP part of the script.

Big thanks to Babo for his htaccess contribute, he is da man in that field

When is servage adding this "feature" you were talking about.

They told me very soon. If i see it on the cpanel, i will let you know.

1 day i will master php. its too confusing for me :(
