Thank you.
Thought I had a good idea. Use mysqldump to back up a few tables at a time or one table at a time. I have NO problem doing it that way if it works.
So I tested it on the posts table. It says the .sql file is 93,736 KB. That's a little less than half the size of the total MySQLDumper dump, so that sounded more complete.
But when I opened it in my text editor, the INSERTs are one per line and go from 77 to 169. So again not even 100 posts. What is going on?
Somewhere here I saw a recommendation to check the backup in WordPad. I tried that. It doesn't have numbers for the lines.
I've been doing all this on the test board, but I'm realizing there appears to be no way to back up the live board right now, if I wanted to. The host is supposed to have backups, but if they're backing up with the same software I'm trying to get to work, how can I assume their backups are any good either?
Something is wrong with this picture. That can't be right.
