I want save a copy of the entire mysql database on the server once a day. Then have backup copies older than 7 days deleted.
So I set up the 'file on server' like this?
/jess_bu/db/jess_mysql_%Y-%m-%d
then I am saving it with the ' Single archive file' checked (and the strftime-style time substitutions checked)
Do I need to include an extension on that file name? If so, what?
Does it save in a propriety virtualmin way, or is it in sql so I can unfurl it on another mysql db even without vm?
Thanks for any help,
Chris

Ok, but I'm still not sure about whether to add an extension or not... experimenting...
Looks like I don't need the extension.
