This is great info...
I finally was able to back-up and restore without major issues...

I am currently trying to figure out how to use phpmyadmin to "update" my site when working with the files off line.

When I use this system it overwrites everything. (great for what it is intended for!)

What I am trying to do is prevent the situation where if a use adds a comment to the top story, I make some offline changes (add a feature, change a title, etc...) over the course of a day or so when I export the database and upload it... it replaces everything and the comment that the person added inbetween is gone...

Q: How do i get phpmyadmin on my production site to import only the CHANGES in databases? It has to be possible I am just stuck...

Thanks,
Saneangel
