@sarabjeet: Try creating a directory named “mysql-backup” at the root of your website. Set its permissions to 0777 (full write access).

Hi Kwasi,

Please give me a little more details so I can help you out. What did you do exactly, what happened when, what is the size of your website, etc.

I tried using your php script to get a backup of my files hosted on godaddy but it is not working for me. I changed the pw and uploaded it correctly to my root dir. Did I miss something that I may not be aware of?
