Mysql backup

[Geiri]

I was trying the mysql backup command in Pp 6.2

I changed the path and I see the file is created but it is 0 bytes

Warning: comments.sql is 0 bytes or did not get created.

what can this be?

I see the command is

Content visible to verified customers only.

With no space from -u to username and -p to password

could be an issue your version of mysql is not allowing that backup type or the server. basically we are issuing a basic ssh command to backup a database.

If you use that command via ssh does it work?

Thank you Chuck
I can execute that from command line on the server so its ok

I do not use ssh

[Chuck S]

how are you executing it from command line on the server if your not using SSH?

at any rate if you execute it are actual backups done not 0 byte files?
