I’m not sure what I’m missing here. I put in my destination directory, I select the tables I want to backup. I set my email address. I select the times I want the backup to take place and then when I go to save I get…
Database backup failed : Missing or invalid backup filename
I tried putting in a filename such as “backup.sql” or just “backup” but that doesn’t seem to help.
It seems I may have figured this out! And I added %d-%m-%Y-%H:%M to the name so it wouldn’t overwrite the backup each day. But it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve read that there is somewhere I need to turn on strftime-style time substitutions. But I can’t seem to find that section anywhere.
Can I have multiple backups? For example a daily, weekly and monthly backup of the database?
Well I didn’t figure it out after all. I had set the backup to happen at 8:00pm tonight and I go an error that it couldn’t create the file. Does anyone have an idea what I’m doing wrong?
