    Hi guys

    First of all, Best Web Directory is currently experiencing server resource usage problem at my host. If you stop by my directory and get some error msg, be sure I am working on it. (It's 5:20 am here and I am still up coz of this) If you were going to submit or by daily listing, Kindly just PM me here in case of getting that problem.

    Now to my question related to phpLD.
    Question: Do you sue phpLD (v3.1 or v3.2) "Database Backup" feature to backup your Database???

    If so, kindly please reply here with following info.
    (1) DB Size (in zip format or in sql file format)
    (2) Number of Categories
    (3) Number of active links
    (4) Approximate hits per day (just to get the traffic idea)
    (5) And most importantly, you are hosted on Shared/VPS/Dedi.

    You might also add any other info you want but Please consider giving above info or else it will not help much. I am actually more interested to find out about Shared host account. (Even if you have moved to VPS recently, and can give the approx. answer, please do it)

    If you will like to comment on your host (Good/bad/average) that would be even better. :)

    Consider it as a contribution to help me find out some answers. I will send green to everyone with proper reply. :)

    I don't use it. I backup everything manually.
    I'm using VPS on my directories and never experienced this problem, even though my traffic is much larger than that. Not even when I was at Shared with Midphase. ;)

    i use both methods of backup, just incase one is corrupted or something...

    and i think your question requires too much work to answer fully, which is probably y response is not so good ;)

    Sorry MeetHere :eek:
    It's certainly "Use" ....

    As you can see I posted the thread at 5:20 am (my time) so you can understand my condition.
    In second post, I just copied without even looking at it.

    My Apologies for the mistake.

    Next time, I will try to avoid posting at that time. :)
