.sql files generated

Post by countrydj »

Hi Guys...

I have just seen dump files of all my databases.
They are in the root directory and are called by the name of the database.sql
i.e.
database1.sql
database2.sql
database3.sql
etc...

Can anybody tell me how and why this has happened.

Thanks,

John C

Shared hosting? Maybe they have some automatic backup script running. Check the dates on the files; are they at regular intervals?
