RE: Scheduled backups
Are you running on Windows? I seem to recall that you can't normally schedule a task unless the user has a password. That might apply only to XP Pro, I don't know about the server versions of Windows.

One thing I have to wonder about, though; in terms of security, okay, maybe you don't want your password stored in a plain text file, but is there anyway around that other than setting the password as blank? -- The NCP Revue -- http://www.ncprevue.com/blog -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Scheduled backups
Hi Everyone I have set up a scheduled backup using MySQL Administrator. Stored connection, database, dates and time, even the Windows user password (in fact, blank). It doesn't start at the correct time, or indeed any time. Have I missed something? Thanks for your help. Jonathan Trahair

There's an issue with MySQL Administrator creating bad scheduled items in 'Windows. I found a note about it but not a bug report or a fix. Try going to the Windows Scheduler, opening the backup item and removing "-c" (including the quotes) from the middle of the command to run. (I found it helpful to copy the command to Notepad, edit it there, and copy back as it is quite long.) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Scheduled Backups Issue...
I am attempting to set and and schedule automated MySQL backups using the MySQL Administrator Tool downloaded from mysql.com. All of my back ups work fien when I perform them manually. However none of the scheduled backups ever get done. I am not sure where the glicth is but here is what the details are... I have a remote server (*nx box colocated at an offsite location). MySQL 5.0.21 is on the box. Logged in as root to the MySQL. Created a Backup Project. Added Schema to it. Under Advanced left all options at default EXCEPT changed to Lock All Tables. Set a local path to save the back ups. Set backup to run daily. Saved and said to use the root as the user to perform the back up. Nada... Please advise if I am being a toal DFU or what.
