Simple Machines Community Forum

Can anyone please point me to a document or page that can walk me though a DB backup via phpmyadmin. I have looked through posts and wiki and haven't found anything. I PROMISE to bookmark the link so I wont have to post again to ask for it!

Thanks in advance.

have you looked at this How do I backup my database? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_do_I_save_the_database_data) ?

Thanks Illori- that's partly what I am looking for. Is there a simple machines tailored posting showing what different tabs need to be checked on the export page? For instance, under "structure" do I need to check "add DROP TABLE"? Is there anything out there that spells it out like that?

Thanks again-

i usually check all those options just to be on the safe side, but they are not required to get a backup.

Thanks for the info. I'll mark as resolved.
