We currently have MySQLDumper on the server. Do we have anyone here who knows how to create some sort of schedule for backups for it? I've done some research and it's something to do with Crons....?
shovel:) To the problem!

Yeah, you're going to want to use a chron job pointing to a php file. I'll email you a stripped version of the one I use. Mine zips up 7 servers databases then emails it to me. You can set the chron to whatever interval you'd like. Mine is nightly.

I would absolutely love it if someone accidentally said something like that in We're alive because you made a typo on the script.

"Michael, you're being a complete add"
