This really isn't a mysql question. It is a matter of elementary troubleshooting. Add to your script: echo "$MYSQL/bin/mysqldump" > /tmp/junk and see what you have. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is probably not being set by cron and should be set in your shell script. Cron starts with only a couple of variables set and you have to start everything else. Are you getting any output from the cron daemon? It should be in the logs somewhere or else emailed to root.

Re: Backup a database
Hello: I have already searched on the archives, but any of the solutions are valid for me because I only have remote access to a windows server to get the data+structure, and to the new server I only have mySQLAdmin access to the database.

Backup a database
Hello: This is my first message to this list, I want to know how to make a backup of a database that has memo fields, those memo fields are html articles (it's a php-nuke web), I use mySQLFront, to extract the .sql with structure+data, and then I uses mySQLAdmin to create the new database+data on another server, but I get an error about the INSERT sql's containing memo fields. Any suggestion?
