cron backup

Post by $var »

I know that there is a manual download for backing up MySQL databases,
but i was wondering if there is a way to set a cron job to do this daily...

I don't know the path or command for the cron to access the db.

most hosts have backup systems, which you can often schedule to keep a copy in your document tree..
