Missing backup restore database
hello all, hope you can help.
Ive installed quite a few mods on my board http://www.lightingresourceforum.com
inc, simple sub forums and xtreme styles plus a few other small ones..
but along the way, my backup and restore database links have gone missing out of the admin panel which ive only just noticed!
is this in XS somewhere or have i deleted it by mistake, if so, how do i repair this ?
Thankyou
kez

Missing backup restore database
Realise this, though - the built-in backup is not particularly good. It will not correctly identify all column types if your MySQL server is running a relatively recent version (I think it stopped working correctly at MySQL 4.1). You are far better off to use a tool like phpmyadmin to do the backup, since you can select which tables to back up (built-in tool will NOT save tables used by MODs), not back up tables that don't need to be backed up (search tables can be recreated, and session tables are dynamic anyway), and make sure the column attributes (auto_increment, default values) are properly saved.
