The IMSMA^NG Datebase holds all of the actie data in IMSMA^NG ranging from published reports to general mine action information. IMSMA^NG Backup is responsible for storing all of this data under the MySQL database. The MySQL database dump command impliments a complete backup of all the data in the database. The resulting dump.sql file includes the necessary commands to recreate the database with all the existing data. The existing file is stored in a time-stamped directory for easy access.

File:BackingUp Tip1Information Managers can create automatic dailiy or weekly backups using MySQL Administration tools.png These backups also work simultaneously with IMSMA ^NG Backup; however any backup made outside of IMSMA ^NG needs to be manually restored.
