I cannot stress enough how important it is to always make sure you have a backup of any databases you have online.

There is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine, and even the best host in the world will have problems. As such, I have found and prepared a tutorial on how to backup any databases that you may have.

First, download this file to backup your MySQL Databases (dbsender-tar.gz)

You can use WinRar or WinZip in order to extract it.

Follow the instructions in the php file and it will inform you on how to finish the installation. If you need assistance, I will try my best to help you, although your best bet is to ask your hosting provider for assistance.

This system will allow you to backup your database daily and I believe that is a good policy. Especially if you are doing business every day.
