Hi Guys, I have a problem. I want to take the backup of my database. But my server end people have not given me a control panel. How can i do it from my end ?? or can i track the time the server people are taking back cos they are telling me that they are taking it from their end continuosly but i dont believe them. Thanks in advance
Why didn't they give you a control panel? Why don't you trust them? If you're in charge, just tell them to do what you want (= give you the possibility to backup your DB). Or better, since you don't trust them, get other server end people. If you're not in charge, then maybe there's a reason you don't have this possibility? Without access to the DB, or a backup facility in your application, I don't think it's possible to backup your DB.
Do you have a database user account details and can you connect to the mysql server using this account from your local machine using mysql client? if yes, then you can use mysqldump utility to backup your database, if not then request tech support to give you database account details so that you can backup the database. Also, as far as i am know there is no way you can find out if they are backing up database or not.
