What's the exact syntax to add some text (such as 'forum backup') to the filename?

Nick R · 06-11-2006, 10:05 AM

what do you mean like so the filename is 'forum_backup_4-2-2006.sql'?

Nick R · 06-11-2006, 10:05 AM

just out of curiosity what is [vB 3.5.6 Beta 1]? never heard of 3.5.6

Arnoud · 06-11-2006, 12:52 PM

That's a little bug in the hacks db system. It actually means 3.6.0.

Yes (then the filename becomes a bit more descriptive).
