I am using wordpress for my sms messages site and using wp-db-backup plugin for databse backup and restore but now my hosting providor has disabled these passthru() disabled. exec() disabled. Without these i am unable to get database backup and restore, plz tell me any wordpress database plugin that can backup and restore database easily, also it can backup comments, ratings, statistics etc...
Thanks guys for reply. Will wordpress export function take everything, i mean comments, ratings, stats, categories etc ? Will WP export and import function work same like getting database backup and restore ? myPHPadmin if also fine but its a time taking method.
Backing up manually is the best way. Don't be scared of it because it is actually a pretty simple. Have a bit of confidence. Here is the address for the WordPress guide on Backing up your database. http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database Sorry, didn't have permission to put live links.
You are right dear manually backup is good but if we have plugins to do all the work with just one click then why waste time for manuall backups. My problem is still there plz tell me Will wordpress export function take everything, i mean comments, ratings, stats, categories etc ? Will WP export and import function work same like getting database backup and restore ?
http://paragonhost.wordpress.com/2006/11/08/howto-back-up-re-store-mysql-database-with-myphpadmin-gui-or-mysqldump-command-line-tool/ Code (markup): here is link for export/backup and import/restore table on database with myphpadmin ** below infos I never try ** export all table begin with "wp_" on database that save to text file on local computer. create new database on server that you want to restore (the name should be same the old one) install WP untill you will see password on screen to login. delete all data table on new database. import text file to new database/server. login to new WP with the old password.
I have no idea about WP plugin. my last posted , I use myphpadmin to backup and restore the database by manual.
There's a plugin for WP database backup here: http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-dbmanager.html Sure we can use mySQL but I would go for a plugin anytime for its simplicity. This plugin does backup, restore, auto backup scheduling, optimizing, +++ What more can you asked? Enjoy. Hilmy.
karrut dear i was using your suggested plugin before and it works like a charm but now as i told my hosting providor has disabled "passthru" so without it wp-dbmanager plugin cant work, so i am asking for any other plugin which can backup/restore without pasthru.
guys, i have a problem restoring my backup. The restore feature is not available in any Wordpress Database Backup plugins. Any help guys?
