Backup Database Problems Please help..

Post by emptycup »

Hello I've got over 25,000 posts on my message board and I need to back up my database before I take the message board down.
Everytime I go into "Backup Options" and try a full backup everything seems to work, but when it finally seems to be done downloading, the download is curupted or not opening up...it's just a long stall..
Can anyone help with this?
Thank you!

Hi and welcome,

You have posted in the 2.0.x Styles Development & Discussion forum, while making a backup has nothing to do with styling your forum. If you have posted here due to all other 2.0.x forums being closed, I must alert you that support for the phpBB2 line of forums has now ended. We are unable to provide answers to any support questions regarding these forums, other than to assist you in converting to phpBB3. You may however search here in the archived forums for similar questions, or turn to Google for unofficial sites still offering support.

If you posted here in error and need support for a 3.0.x board, or you would like to convert your 2.0.x board to the current release, please let us know and we will move your topic to the appropriate location.

Use phpMyAdmin to make the backup. ;)
