(3.3.2 test board) I've been using MySQLDumper for years. Loved it. Now that we are on new hosting, I installed it and got a white screen, not sure why. It may be because we are on PHP 8.1.29, but I saw information online that someone had it working with 8.1, so it may be some other reason. I am stuck without it.
I can back up through the ACP, but there are 2 issues. The backup runs super fast and completes in under a minute. And the resulting file size is half the size of the MSD dump, both of them .sql, both unzipped. So I'm not sure it completed. I had the setting on MySQLDumper throttled to slow the dump, so that may explain the time difference. The ACP dump may not include some "extra" or "optional" (?) info that MySQLDumper did in the output, again I don't know. Since I never use the ACP dump, I don't know if there are issues with it at times. Does anyone know of any?
You might say, why not just restore the ACP dump and see what you get? Because I had to get Tech Support to import the data to create the test board, and I don't want to have to ask them again, if I mess it up now importing an incomplete dump. I tried their SSH terminal and that didn't work. After over 2-ish hours on tech support checking that I had the command right and sending them 14 screenshots, they could not figure out why it wasn't working, so they just did it for me. But that is not a long term solution. I don't want to have to ask for help for something this simple.
I saw here a recommendation of MyOOS-Dumper posted a couple of years ago. It was based on MySQLDumper. Now I see on their website that the person who was working with it developed health issues, could not continue to support it, and recommends not to use it due to security.
Can anyone recommend something like MySQLDumper that is reliable? I don't mind paying for it. Or other ideas. The database is not huge, but too big for phpmyadmin. 292.54 MiB in the ACP General tab.
I want to upgrade the board because we are on PHP 8.1.29, and I need to be able to back up and restore.
Thanks for any ideas/comments.
