Re: MySQL Backup not working
There is a possibility that the backup was not done properly. This is why there is an issue while restoring the older database. Well, I dont think that the MySQL Backup not working. There may be completely no issue with the software. If the backup has not been done properly, then I am afraid that you will not be able to restore the older database into the new one.
Re: MySQL Backup not working
If the MySQL Backup not working and if you think that there is a problem with the software that you are using, then try using a new copy of the software. If this does not resolve the problem, then try using some other alternative in the place of MySQL Backup. There are many softwares available in the market that can be used in the place of MySQL Backup.
Try using any of them and let me know if the situation is fixed or if the problem is still being encountered.
Re: MySQL Backup not working
There is a code available as given below. Use the same if you think that MySQL Backup not working:
Code:
mysql -u username_databaseuser -p username_databasename < /home/username/dbbackup/username_databasename.sql
If this code works out, then there is no problem with the software. You need to have the access to the shell to use the above command for the restore. I hope that your problem will be solved with the help of this command. I have used the above code for restoring my database too when it was giving me the same problem as you are facing.
Re: MySQL Backup not working
You are encountering the issue that MySQL Backup not working because the particular database that you are trying to upload or restore from the backup may be very large. The command called username_databasename.sql has to be used for uploading such a large database in the account that you are having. You can also specify the name of the directory where you want to save the database.
