There indeed should be no space - it uses a more linux like syntax... imho, better convention.

mysqldump --opt -uUSER -pPASSWORD DBNAME > backup.sql

Might be good though....

thx Dave, that's a great tutorial, but after 10 tries, I wasn't able to complete the whole db transfer before it dropped  :(

so I asked my webhost and he said that I could have "shell access", so could you explain to me what "shell access" is and how exactly I should do what you mentioned earlier?

thx for your help, I'm really new to this

Shell access is like Dos.  It is command line.  You need to use a program like Putty, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/, to access it.  Your host will have all details as to how to connect.

I have backed up and migrated my forum onto the new server without any hiccups, apart from the fact that the topics do not show up. Anyone know why this would be?

In admin panel it shows the messages, but no topics... :-\

Yup, weird. I messed around with setting up a new forum in a new database, and  then deleted that db, changing yabb to the falklands db, and it's worked. Looks like a case of buggy mySQL/YaBB. Anyway, thanks ;D

You shouldn't need the #!/bin/sh in the cron job.  Maybe try a full path to mysqldump.

Would you know what that is?

And the path #!/bin/sh isn't in my crontab file, it is in the backup.sh script I have crond run.

Can you run the script fine if you execute it?
