fast, but - Version: 1.0.2, 3/24/2004 11:16AM PST

COOLFACTOR

When I chose the Tar & Gzip option, not it compressed the file into a series of folders that matched the destination directory, which is odd.

So, if I chose "/Users/myaccount/Backups" as the destination, it would create an archive that contained that folder structure, so when I expand it, I actually have: "/Users/myaccount/Backups/Users/myaccount/Backups/".

Other than that, and the option to add "DROP TABLE", it's a lot better than using phpMyAdmin for backups.

Thanks for a needed app.
