Barry, The yabbsebackup.sql file will reside in whatever directory you were in when you issued the mysqldump command. The > symbol indicates you want the output of mysqldump redirected to a file instead of STDOUT. What you place after the > symbol is the filename. If you do not specify a path (i.e > /path-to/some-dir/yabbsebackup.sql) , the file will be created in the current working directory. -- Kev. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
