    I've downloaded version 1.2.0 and unzipped into a folder. When trying to run mysql backup.exe, the program immediately throws an error without opening. The error says in Dutch (I somehow recall the developer being Dutch?):

    Er is een fout opgetreden in mysql bacup en het programma moet worden afgesloten. Onze excuses voor het ongemak.
    and…
    U was bezig met een bewerking. Deze gegevens zijn mogelijk verloren gegaan.

    I'm using XP Pro SP3 in Dutch.

    I also tried 1.0.1 and that version did open.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    Which version of .net are you using? In version 1.2 I do use some linq methods. You need at least .net 3.5 for that.
    Kind regards,

    Matthijs

    hi i have the same problem
    i have .NET 1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1

    Hi,

    could you do me a favor and try it with Release 1.1 and let me know If you encounter any problems there when running the application.

    So far, I haven’t been able to figure out what the problem is, since I cannot replicate the error (running on windows Server 2003, windows XP SP3 and Vista).

    Anyone has an idea what the problem could be?
    kind regards,

    Matthijs

  • Matthijs de Zwart

    I just uploaded a test release in the folder 'bugtest'. Could you give it a try with this version?

    the same thing
    do you use only standard function from .net
    i run it from my debuger

    An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in mysql backup.exe

    Additional information: The type initializer for 'mysql_backup.DBHandling' threw an exception.

    from the call stack
    mysql backup.exe!mysql_backup.Form1.Form1(bool runAtStart = false) + 0x29 bytes
    mysql backup.exe!mysql_backup.Program.Main(string args) + 0xc3 bytes

    now it worked 1.2.1.2

     
  • Matthijs de Zwart

    weird…. I do use the standard function from .net….
    I just made a minor adjustment. Could you give it another try.

    that was fast ;-) even before I added the message :-)
    It seems that that was a problem with the mysql.data library.
    Thanks for helping me with the error messages.
    regards,

    see my previous post

    now work
    but can you make it to change standard port (3306)  to some what like 3307

     
  • PsYhLo

    PsYhLo - 2010-05-14

    no problem it is useful tool :)
    only the ports are the problem for me because i have multiple mysql servers at one pc with different ports :)

     
  • Matthijs de Zwart

    I'll put that request on the to do list for a next release.

    10x keep up the good work

    and one last thing
    can you do one extra text box for parameters to mysqldump.exe

     
  • Matthijs de Zwart

    Such as?
    (Normally I want a program to be kind of monkey proof. If I let users add parameters without checking or handling them…the program might not react the way it should.)

    my bad  i have tried one database without stored procedures and triggers

    forget about parameters
    just add timestamp to database dump name and an interval for run :)

     
  • Matthijs de Zwart

    hi,

    there's already a date added to the dump name and you can run the backup tool via the scheduled tasks (so you can run them with an interval). I run the tool everyday at a specific time, using the runatstart parameter within the schedualed task. See the manual for details.
    regards,

    but if i run 2 or 3 times a day i'll overwrite previous backups i need to reserve them

    I have tried the runatstart parameter in scheduled tasks but it hasn't been working, the exe runs in the background but nothing happens.
    Am sure it must be something I am doing wrong any idea's?

    Any chance an option to add to scheduled tasks could be built in to the application?

     
  • Matthijs de Zwart

    Hi smirnoff76,

    could you provide me with a screen dump of the application on how you've set the fields in the main form and a screen dump of you scheduled task (just like I did in the manual).

    And have you double checked the privileges for the user you use for the backup.
    regards,

    Matthijs
