It may be true that using phpMyAdmin creates cleaner files. Very possible especially considering that that's a standard database management tool used across the web. I've never used the MODx database backup tool so I have no idea how it would compare. Would be interesting to do a backup of the same site using both tools and compare the code side by side. While we're on the topic, another tool I use often is HeidiSQL. I tend to use phpMyAdmin more but HeidiSQL is pretty useful too. mary wendy

This was v.9.6 something, though, so maybe that's changed.

If enough people are interested, could you touch on the boring bits a little more (backing up and restoring the database and files)? Top class work, Respect due. Hi Mary, Great stuff.

Honestly, there's no particular reason, probably just habit. I build websites and apps using all sorts of different tools and such and have just become accustomed to using phpMyAdmin or HeidiSQL or other utilities for doing my database backups and restores, it's never occurred to me to use the MODx database backup tool :) mary crunch

I'm just wondering if there is a reason you don't use the built in database backup in the manager, rather than using phpmyadmin as you mentioned in the video? hi mary – thanks for making this helpful screencast.

I just went live with my first MODx site (real world stuff, not just for learning) and figured I'd might as well upgrade it to 1.0.0. I followed your tutorial again, just to make sure I didn't forget anything, and it worked without a hitch:-) Yes, I'm a happy girl and thankful that you take the time to provide the rest of us with such a valuable resource. If you're interested in looking the site is www.roysteinberg.com. I'm going to get up from my computer now and do my "happy dance":-) Hey Mary, I wanted to say thanks again.
