Backing up Database and PHP files

[Guest timecrisis]

Ello again,

Sorry if this is slightly off topic,

I am trying to set up a program on my PC that will back up the Database and also all the PHP files everyday.

I posted about this before and found a nice script to do this..

I have started to have a lof of sites to look after now and would like to find a .exe that can sit on my pc and runs automagically..

Has anyone used something like this?

I was thinking of using some sort of macro creator but think this might be a bit complicated....

Thankyou :unsure:

Why not run an FTP server on your home machine... then at set intervals (daily maybe) have the 'server' tar up the files and database (nice script for that, I have) and open an FTP connection to your home machine, and put the files in it.

Worth a thought.

Hmmmm...Thanks for the reply

I just like the idea of having a exe...i am not eally that savvy with servers etc...

I have found a piece of software that I am looking at but cannot get it to connect...

I don't suppose you know which would be the standard port for MYSQL connection?!

Thanks

Standard MySQL port is 3306

Are you sure if MySQL server you are using allows remote connections? :unsure:

[Guest timecrisis]

yes that is exactly the problem I think...It sems a lot of hosts don't allow this...Although I have a setting on my Cpanel to create a remore connection but I need to add either an IP or a domain name...

So unless I have a fixed IP then I won't be able to do it?

Thanks for the reply =)
