Backing up PhotoPost

[globalinsites]

Say I would have to format my server and re-install. If I have downloaded my entire site (including data directory of course) and if I have a backup of the database, would that be enough? Or is there anything else I would have to do or backup?

If you have a backup of the files and database you would be fine.

My Photopost is intergrated with phpBB, if I do a backup in the Forum will this backup Photopost as well or do I need to do a photopost backup also..

It should backup all the tables but you can surely check the backup directory for the forum and ensure the tables are all backed up.

I'm getting the following error message any idea what I'm doing wrong.

Command being used to execute dumps (specific tables are executed individually):

/usr/bin/mysqldump --opt -h db243.mydomain. -udbo1616***** -password db1616*****

Results:


Warning: filesize(): Stat failed for /DBbackup/Photopost/pp_admingroups.sql (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /homepages/5/d161531532/htdocs/photopost/adm-misc.php on line 1552
Warning: pp_admingroups.sql is 0 bytes or did not get created.

You should double-check your .sql files to be sure the backup completed successfully.

Make sure your backup path is correct and that the directory is 777.

That should do it
