I think I am backing up Koha properly through what I've read on this mailing list and what I've been shown by a tech. person, but I just wanted to make sure. Is this the right way to do it? I go to export in MySQL and save all the tables as a file. Under Structure I check "Add Drop Table" and "Enclose table and field names with backquotes". Under Data, "use hexadecimal for binary fields" is already checked. Then I save it all as a file. Is this right? Should I: 1. Under Structure I also have the option to check "Add if not exists" and "Add Auto_Increment Value". Should I check either of those as well? 2. There's a drop down box of selections for MySQL compatibility. Which one should I use? The options are NONE, ANSI, DB2, MAXDB, MSSQL, MYSQL323, MYSQL40, ORACLE, POSTGRESQL, or TRADITIONAL. 3. Under Data, I have options as well in check boxes, so I assume I could check more than one. Which ones are needed? The choices are "Complete inserts", "Extended inserts", "Use delayed inserts", "Use ignore inserts", and "Use hexadecimal for binary fields". Then I have a drop down menu where I have to choose the export type: INSERT, UPDATE, or REPLACE. Which one of those? Thank you very much! Amber
