Hi,

I would like to automate my MySQL 5 backup. I plan to do a full backup
Sunday's and do incremental backups for all the other days. I found
this script @
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to...matically.html
which seems to be for UNIX.

Does anybody know of the above script for Windows or know of a free
tool which supports incremental backups beside scheduling, transfer to
ftp etc.

Thanks for your help.

Give up on the idea of "incremental" with regard to your database
system, and use mysqldump to get the data you're going to be backing up
from the system. Your life will be FAR less complicated that way.
