How long it takes, usually for database dump 250MB (compressed) or 1.1GB SQL?
Is forum still running during backup? What happen in database (like table lock/wait) during that time?

Forum will still run, time depends on your server specs.

Is possible to make it to not overwrite the old one?
Like in the title of the backup it will set the date and it wont overwrite the other ones.
Is that possible?

Yes. At the top of your script put:

NOW="$(date +"%m%d%Y")"

And for your backup name:

/MY/BACKUP/LOCATION/BACKUPNAME_$NOW.sql.gz

Like this?

NOW="$(date +"%m%d%Y")"
/usr/bin/mysqldump -hDBHOST -uDBLOGIN -pDBPASSWORD DATABASE | gzip > /MY/BACKUP/LOCATION/BACKUPNAME_$NOW.sql.gz
uuencode /MY/BACKUP/LOCATION/BACKUPNAME_$NOW.sql.gz BACKUPNAME_$NOW.sql.gz | mail [email protected]

Mhmm do I have to change the DBHOST with my database host keeping the CAPS?

KuJoe Wrote:DATABASE = The database you wish to backup.

This is the database name?

Yes that looks correct.

Your DB host should be localhost unless your provider tells you otherwise and it's best to avoid caps unless it is specifically written in caps. I used caps so it stood out better for those reading it.

Yes, the database name.

Thanks Joe, It works like a charm here

Thank you.
I have created the "backup" folder above the public_html and I can't CHMOD it to 666. It changes to 766... What CHMOD I have to insert for the backup folder?

Any CHMOD above 666, so 766 will work.

Is this ok?
   
The "php -f /home/a3230294/" part was already there and I can't delete it..

KuJoe Wrote:Upload the file to your site below the public directory and remove the extention (.txt). Change the permission of the file to allow it to be executed. CHMOD 755 works.

CHMOD 755 will allow user form outside to read the file...
CHMOD 733 works?
