Hello,

How do I make an image backup from a MySQL database so that when I require it, I can insert the backup into MySQL. I'm able to take the text backup i.e I just pull the record value and push it into a text file. However, as far as the image is concerned, it's creating a bit of an issue. I don't know whether it's possible or not.

If it is not possible can someone suggest an alternative?

Thanks in advance.

What you need to do is understand what backing up really is and how to implement it in MySQL.
