The MYSQL code backs up the Mysql database periodically

Believe the webmaster of a lot of individual website, or the blogger that is independent Blog, have backup database so 1 demand. Of course, the very rich Blog system has many plugins that can help you do this. If you need to backup the database by yourself, I posted a Mysql automatic backup script for your reference, in foreign web site, or good, implements the backup Mysql database regularly, and can choose the file directory specified in the 1 day of a week to do the full backup, backup files are automatically uploaded to your designated FTP, ensure the reliability of the backup. I don't think it would make too much sense if I just backed up the database from database 1.
