Here is what I use: http://www.worldcommunity.com/opensource/utilities/mysql_backup.html This is the directive I use in my job{} definition: ClientRunBeforeJob= "/usr/local/bin/mysqlbackup/mysqlbackup.pl" Then of course my FileSet {} definition would include the directories where the compressed archives have been created. As I use this configuration at home, it works fine for me. In the version I am using, clear text password is stored in configuration file so this would need to be evaluated in your environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
