At WebServerMasters we are always looking for ways to improve the life of a webmaster and/or server administrator. We already do this by taking the burden of routine updates to the system or CMS off their backs with our Subcribed Services.

In the previous segment of this series of articles we discussed the backing up of the MySQL database with mysqldump and cron. I have since (through testing the restore process) revised the script slightly in that article. Please re read the article and add the change to your script.

Now we will discuss the restoring of our database backu
