Suggestion: Make timestamps an option

[Mark Barnes]

Thanks so much for this software. One small feature request. It would really help me not to have timestamps appended to the file/folder names. If the MySQL backup filenames never change, my normal Windows backup software can backup the files incrementally, and only backup the changed portion. Thanks.

Hi Mark,

I'll add it to the new feature list. But since the current release seems to be stable and doing what it should, it might take a while before I make another release.

Port choice and multiple backup schemas are ideas for the future and reason enough for a new release, but I need to change a lot. Especially for the multiple backup schema.
regards,

Matthijs

By the way. Could it be an idea to just don't use you windows software to backup the directory where you put the mysql backup (add that directory to a blacklist) and / or put your mysql backups on your network drive (outside the windows backup structure). Just a suggestion for the meanwhile.

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate the time you have put into MySQL Database Backup.
