another question,--backup forum--

[bosanci28]

i try to do a full backup to my forum and i get only 5.91mb file size,,is this right?,,

in database backup:

first i do ""database tables to include in backup" all ,,and i save the file on my desktop--
and is giving to me a file like notepad -5.91 mb size w/ext. sql

then

i do "backup database to a file on a server"
on a folder that a made,,and i download that on my desktop also ,,and i get smae size file,,

so my question is: what is the right way and the safest way to do a full backup ,,just in case that i need to do a full restore to my forum?,,,(and to save that file to my descktop)


thanks in advance for any help.

I use this: Automatic Database Back-up

i use the same but what file do i need to save a copy to my computer just in case i need to restore?,,thanks

Depending where ever you save it to, just download the files that are in that folder. the newest date is obviously the latest backup.

and how do i find that folder,,and how the file is called,,sorry im new at this,,but im learning,,

so the file ''databack.php'' is this that i need to copy to my desktop? is only 1.81 kb,,

thanks

Not the .php. When you install that you need to setup a folder and define that in the vbulletin options. Then they should all go to that folder.
