Write a script that exports to text and then zips the file. You can then download the file or have it emailed.
Its a good idea, you should take control of your data.

How bad an idea is it to have a backup copy emailed to me at a designated time so I don't have to depend on myself and the host for backups? I am worried this cheep web host will go out of business and take my backups with him. The file will be rediculously huge for email of course. Is this the only problem? What other solutions do I have that do not depend on my web host? Matt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
