Hello All, I want to take the backup of the databases like MySQL,MSSQL and Oracle In the sense that i have to develop an application that does this Any idea as to how i can go about it I know how to do it at the command line but if my php program has to do it then what is the best way to accomplish the task? I also need to store the backup in file and also in a seperate database Regards Roopa
"but if my php program has to do it then what is the best way to accomplish the task? "
you should make backups from PHP in the first place, always let a server-side script do it, using mysqldump.
