Have you tried dumping that table manually using mysqldump on the command line to confirm it's not an issue with automysqlbackup?

Recently, however, I've become encountering problems when trying to re-import one of its dumped sql files. (Not sure if it matters, but the database file in question is large and growing -- about 10GB. The other databases automysqlbackup backs up are fine.) Basically on the import, MySQL fails and returns an error indicating a problem with the dump file: mysql -u root -p < dump_file.sql (~10GB) Enter password: ERROR 1300 (HY000) at line 426: Invalid utf8 character string: '?03422' Sure enough, I look at the line in dump_file.sql, which should contain two unsigned ints, and two unsigned small ints: [...],(32562206,1228?03422,1641,135),[...] And yup, there's a question mark in the middle of the second unsigned int, for some strange reason. Not in any of the other rows in that statement. When I look at the existing database from which the dump file was made, that row is fine: mysql> SELECT * FROM bandwidth WHERE id = 32562206; +----------+------------+-----------+-------+ | id | time_sec | device_id | bytes | +----------+------------+-----------+-------+ | 32562206 | 1228803422 | 1641 | 135 | +----------+------------+-----------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) So... It appears either mysqldump and/or automysqlbackup is having a problem dumping a true copy of the database. Anyone else run into this sort of thing? Any suggestions?
