after googling for a long time, I decided to ask this:
I’ve uploaded a site to a shared hosting that does not allow remote DB connection due to security issues (according to them).
the Data is very important to me and I’d like to back it up automatically on a daily basis (in addition to the hosts daily backup).
I’m writing the code in ASP.NET and using MySQL DB.
The server is Win 2003 and using PHPmyAdmin.
as mentioned in the headline – I cannot connect to it remotely.
how can I schedule an automatic backup for the DB?
Thanks you very much !
I found a solution for this issue:
http://www.phpmybackuppro.net/
it’s a free tool that doesn’t require a real installation. you upload the files, configure according to the instructions then can call the backup procedure on demand from a web page or manipulate it as you wish. great tool!
