Hi folks.

I would like to upgrade to the 1.7.1 version.
But being a careful person I would rather backup my database (as the install.txt recommends).

My problem: Which file(s) do I need to back up??
I am indeed confused about this..

Noone? I know this appears to be a really silly / stupid question, but that should not mean noone bothers to answer?
Please, someone stoop dpwn to send me the one-liner I need

Sorry, very busy and I overlooked this post

Use phpmyadmin

With phpmyadmin this will allow you to export the rosters db to a .sql file that can be imported if there are any issues.

That won't help me, it seems.
I am obviously not smart enough to use phpadmin, or (more likely) don't know enough about php and stuff.. I don't even know which dir is my "document root"..
If at all possible, scre phpadmin.. can't someone just give me a list of files tha I need to copy byck to my local machine and be done with it?

I am tempted to just update without backup, but something's telling me that when I come back to whine and gripe and curse after ruining my roster you won't like it much..

If this isn't your server, there are no user accessible file that you could even touch to back up the database

This is why you need a mysql management tool

You might find such a tool in you web hosts' control panel
