Could someone please tell me how I would backup a database in Plesk 8 please? I've been looking but I can't find out how to. +rep to who ever can tell me, Thank you!
Haven't spent a lot of time with Plesk. I usually backup my databases using phpmyadmin. If you have that I can help you.
Yes I have phpmyadmin, You export the database right? I wondered if plesk had one, they would probably backup it up properly.
phpmyadmin does a fine job as long as you select the correct format and check the proper boxes. I am using cPanel 11 on one of my accounts. I will look and see if there is another DB backup option that I have never used. If Plesk has one I suspect it would be hidden under Databases or DB tools. It has been a long time since I used plesk. Edit: yes you just export it. You can write it to your local hard drive zipped or unzipped.
