On all our Linux Hostings, we are now providing 'MySQL Hot Backup Scheduler' under the cPanel account.

This interface allows you to put your database in the backup schedule run on the server for the Hot Backups. It is especially useful if you have InnoDB tables.

A database listed under this schedule, has its data backed up every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at approx 00:30 AM IST Time. The backup file is stored as /home/<cp_username>/<db_name>.sql.bz2 . Important points w.r.t. to this service are

• At anytime there would be only one backup file at any moment
• Whenever weekly remote backups are taken on weekend, typically Fridays' backup file would also be taken to the remote backup.
• If you wish to immediately backup your data, please use PHPMyAdmin and Export the data to your local PC.
• This service is offered as a matter of convenience. We take no responsibility to its efficiency, results, scheduling or anything thereof
