Automated Database Backup Script

  1. MySQL Secure Connection & Backup

    I use your MySQL database and connect to it directly from my PC using HeidiSQL.

    The issue of remotely connecting to the database is that the connection is not secure :( and you dont accept secure connections of any type which is disappointing. Are you planning to add/allow remote secure database connections in the future?

    For me the database contains sensitive information, and in not offering secure remote connections it is certainly a let down on what else is a good service
     
  2. Automated Backup Script

    Since we dont get automated backups :confused: i've created a backup script that will allow you to run daily/weekly/monthly database backups direct to your PC.

    Tested on MySQL - not sure if it will work on other database types

    Unfortunately the forum upload system crashes when i try to attach it to this message, so you can download it from:

    Maybe an admin can upload it for us ;)
     
  3. I needed to backup my database daily, as discountasp dont offer backups i wrote a small script to automate this process.

    Script works with MySQL databases, not tested with other database types
