You are assuming that the file named "backup.sql" contains a backup of the database named "backup". There is no grounds in the mail that support that assumption; I would even say that 'backup.sql' is a rather generic name for a file containing a backup. Such naming is not uncommon for a one-shot backup; or it might be used as a placeholder in an explanation. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
