How to backup a database that has many GB's

[crownin]

Hello,

I want to know how to backup a database that has many GB's of files stored on it and transfer this to another server ? because you can't use ftp it gives way too low speed there must be a way right ?

Thanks.

R1soft backup with mysql addon is the best way.

I have looked for R1soft but the tutorial is really difficult.
Could you please give me a simple tutorial for how to install/use R1soft.

Thanks

i recommend buying the service from someone.
Depends on space but price is from 50 and up with mysql addon and space.

depends where your server is located.
But in .us i recommend gigenet, its a 70$ for mysql addon + 100gb
in .eu i know swiftway.co.uk got the services, but not tested.

They will install the client on the server, and you can manage backups through a webpanel

Allright Thanks, But how fast could I transfer for example 1 TB ?

btw do you know how to use a server for web only Because I have a harddisk on web server to where files are getting stored on. Do I just have to set it on readonly or does it still uses power then ? Because I need to make it 100% for web only.

r1soft is only for web and database backup, so 1TB is kinda ALOT
usually you get 10-100GB storage space with r1soft.

Email me for msn, and ill help you out

Then you havent been asking the right question.

When you saying database, i read that you mean MySQL Database

For that r1soft is the best software.

If you mean your uploaded files...
that means rsync or ftp copy.

ohh I'm very sorry yes I mean uploaded files..

I tried it with ftp but it is way too slow...
