Dear stackflower users,
A few days ago there was a power outage and my mysql database was lost... (I did have a one month old backup)
So I started looking for a program that makes backups of my mysql database automatically. I found a script that does exactly this, its called phpMyBackupPro
According to the readme I had to add:
require_once("phpMyBackupPro/schedule_backup.php");
To a page that gets loaded frequently (for example index.php)
So I tried adding this to my index.php page of joomla and clearing my joomla and browser cache. However the backup files are not being created when I load the index.php, when I run the script manually they are however.
So I started looking for some addons that could load php files in joomla, but they either didn't work or they where not compatible with joomla 1.7.
is their anyone who knows how to get this script to work, or knows a better way of automatically backing up mysql databases on windows?
