Database Backup Utility
Developed by Sam Raheb © 2007

Introduction
The purpose of this program is to provide an easy way to download backup copies your website's database files to your local computer. It can be used to backup up files from up to 20 different remote locations.

After you enter your remote file download links, database file names, and local save paths into the Excel spreadsheet, the utility will create an HTML document with hyperlinks for backing up your database files. The backed up file names will be suffixed with the current backup date stated below.

For example, if your database file on the web server is named drpl1.gz, then the downloaded backup file saved on August-11-2007 will be named drpl1 08-11-2007.gz. There is also an option to save the file using the alternative date formats of drpl1 11-08-2007.gz (European) and drpl1 August-11-2007.gz.

Backup Date: 10-26-2007
