why my backup db is 0 byte? i several backup it n still get 0 byte... wth is this?

hi i had the same prob. when doing a back up from the link in the admin sec. of my site , so i switched utilitys.
I have been using mysql's MySQL Administrator to do it and have had no problems with it

is it the mysql's Mysql, functioned like those phpadmin or mysql-front?how u back it up?

You need to setup the default path to:

$_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary

It's 99% that location of mysqldump in your case is different than the default config.php path.

One more thing. Looks like (from other posts of yours) that your GL site is on Windows. In this case look for mysqldump.exe.

that dosn't work for me and i am on win xp
mysqldump.exe is configerd

I find it just as easy to go into phpmyadmin and do the backups there. Plus you can repair and optimize your tables at the same time.

Which just makes sense.
