Pressing the button will backup one or all of your database(s). There are also options to control which databases are backed up, compression, mysqldump parameters, and attach notes.
What happens when I click the button?
Each database will have its contents written into a text file using the mysqldump format. If the compression option is selected then the file will also be compressed.
The information on each backup file are saved in a database table for future reference.
Backup Client supports triggers and after a backup is made the trigger hooks are called.
Options on this page:
Each backup file that is created can have a note attached to it. This leaves a helpful reminder as to why the backup was made.
If you have multiple databases defined in your settings.php file - Backup Client will create a backup for each database. If you do not select this configuration only the default database will be backed up.
If selected the backed up files will be gzip compressed.
The title of your website (within the backed up database file) will have the backup date appended to it. If you restore from a database backup - this will allow you to verify which backup you restored from.
You can optionally include or exclude this statement within the database backup.
You can optionally include or exclude this statement within the database backup.
If Backup Client can find the native mysqldump executable on your webserver it will give you the option of calling it directly to backup your default (ie. Drupal) database.
