Exporting with phpMyAdmin

Recommended Posts

I want to backup my MySQL database so I tried the phpMyAdmin Export feature to save it as SQL commands in a text file.  When I looked at the SQL file the table structure was there along with inserts to restore the data.  But my INNODB table key constraints were missing.

 

I found an old forum entry that mentioned unchecking "Data" to save the constraint info.  I tried it and it worked.

 

This seems odd, having to save two files.  Is this how one really backs up a database?  I presume that to restore the database, I would have to import the two files as well?
