Hi again people :) Scenario: I'm using php and mysql to format and store my
datas respectively. I have two machines, Machine A holds the Apache and php
applications while Machine B holds MySQL. Question: How will I use
mysqldump to backup my database in machine B from my application in Machine A?.

a. do Machine A needs to have mysqldump program? b. i want the backup file to be in Machine A. c. how to i connect to the Machine B from Machine A when the latter has no mysql? Is there any other way to backup my database without using mysqldump? In
my application there is a button that needs to be clicked when you want to do a
backup, this works only if MySQL reside on the same machine as the application
because I only needed to know the directory and do a bat file that will dump
using mysqldump. Thanks, this group really is very helpful.

Please HELP!!!! :)
