I have downlaoded the 5-18-2003 snapshot.

It says on the sec that i should do a clean install.

 

I am currenlty running the milesont 2.1 from 2/17/2003

 

How do i back up the inforamation stored in the database (without using the back up option in the admin ? )

 

I am not sure if i want to back up the stuff in the database because the tables might have been re-arranged , but what i want is all my info (minimum values, max values, admin info, my 2 products and that stuff )

 

to be backed up

 

any ideas. please ? thanks.

I am using a mysql database for my stuff and had to do the same thing that you are asking. I used a product called Navicat it seems to work well for me. you can download a trail of it at http://www.mysqlstudio.com

its kinda spendy to buy but if your doing a lot of work and you want to see your tables, query ect.

 

ps

I did my backup of the database

Then changed all the tabenames(add a 1 or something) Then reinstalled.

Once I knew what I had was working I deleted all the old renamed tables.
