This is still related to v6.5.x but I need to back up the tables before I try the upgrade.
What can I do if the backup process hangs (times out) when backing up a table? Are there any parameters I can change in the code?
The problem is that the table in question (posts) is quite large: over 500 megs.
Obviously I can erase a ton of topics to make it smaller, but what else can I do in terms of running a successful backup via the CP?
