I am having a bit of a problem with backing up and then restoring my database. The primary problem are with the table that holds the text for the stories on my site.

For reference, I am using the backup script at the link below.

What is happening is that it is splitting the story_text into 4 insert statements. The problem is that each insert is too big to run on it’s own, and times out phpmyadmin and the restore script. Also bogs down my machine when I try to copy and paste them.

Is there a way to have the backup script break these up into small INSERT statements?

Never mind. I was not using the utility correctly. It restored it just fine once I realized I was putting the file name in the wrong spot.

Nothing to see here....move along ;)
