Backup Utils for NPC updates

[laxative]

Good day,

As many posts start, just got my server up and running again. Being the stubborn Paladin of old, back when Iustus proved that half-elf paladins leveled WAY slower than everyone else, I had to fix stuff.

I used the latest weekly dump at the database.
I then forced myself to use only SQL command lines and updated numerous Armor of Ro Quests NPC

one of many: changed the spawn location of the plague shark, made it static, gave it a PH and updated the loot frequeny and spawn parameters..

ok so now that I know the SQL, I have George's NPC editor working.. I'm hesitant to use the tools because it's making numerous SQL updates behind the scenes..

So what's a good method to capture all these NPC edits, and merge them back in after a new DB installation?
