Installation

	
1. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
	
2. Upload dumper.en.php to a browser-accessible directory on your server.
	
3. Set permissions of this directory to CHMOD 777 or rwx-rwx-rwx.

Usage

	
1. Navigate to the script in a web browser: http://domain.com/path/dumper.en.php.
	
2. Enter the username and password to your database.
	3. To make a database backup:
		
1. Select the database at the top of the main screen.
		
2. Leave filters blank (by default, all tables will be selected); see below for details on filters.
		
3. Select the compression method (bzip2 is best, but very slow).
		
4. Select the compression level (the higher the better, but slower).
		
5. Click "Apply".
		
6. When the procedure is complete, the download link and "Back" button will be activated. 
You can download the file over HTTP (you may need to set appropriate MIME types for .sql, .gz, or .bz2), or over FTP. 
The filename is the name of the database, followed by the date and time the dump was made, to facilitate backups.
	
4. To restore a database backup:
		
1. Select the database at the bottom of the main screen.
		
2. Select the file from the drop-down list. If necessary, upload your backup files into the "backup" directory first.
		
3. Click "Apply".
		
4. Wait for the recovery to complete.

Filters

Table filters let you select tables whose names match a pattern. 
Wildcards can be used:

? — means any one character
^ — 
excludes certain tables

Examples:
ib_-* — all tables starting with "ib_" 
(all Invision Board tables)
ib_*,^ib_sessions — all tables starting with "ib_" except "ib_sessions"
ib_s*s,^ ib_sessions — all tables starting with "ib_s" and ending with the letter "s" except "ib_sessions"
^*s — all tables except those that end with "s"
^ib_???? — All tables except those that begin with "ib_" and contain four characters after the underscore
