Backups?

[eqwarrior1188]

I downloaded the latest item DB from the item place on the website but it overwrote the items i had made :( is there anyway i can go back to my old one...I don't think I have a backup off it though.

You can't restore a backup if you haven't created it.

I would suggest dumping your database into a backup at least once a week. If you can't afford the space, just backup character_, accounts, items and spawn info tables. Shouldn't be too big once zipped.

If you dont know how, run command prompt and point it to mysql\bin. Then type in:

mysqldump eq character_ accounts items > Backup.sql
