Does anyone know where I can find a decent php script to backup a MySQL
database, something that would also backup BLOB fields adequately? Thanks,
Ike

I use MySQLAdministrator for my backup needs... ran from a scheduled task
(WinXP) nightly. It dumps everything (including blobs as text). And since
they are text files (actually SQL files) they Zip up rather small for
storing off somewhere. I'm sure 'mysqldump' (search the mysql site) will do
pretty much the same thing.
