Just tried making the backup and it seems to have gone through successfully... at least at first glance.
(Q1) It took under half a minute to get this done (as opposed to half a day via the CP), is that normal for a dump that "weighs" about 500 megs?
Also, in the Threads CP under database tools I see the following summary for my board:
Totals 958672 (rows) 532.88 MB (data) 111.07 MB (indexes)
(Q2) But the total size of the dump is 483MB when checking out the file's properties using WinSCP. Is the backup truly complete?
(Q3) On a side note, am I doing the right thing by downloading the dump in binary? Or should this be done in ASCII? (I dragged the file onto my desktop using WinSCP and it started a binary transfer)
