Hehehe. I just couldn't resist pokin' ya in the ribs a little bit, DD.

Here's a good backup tip though:
I always configure my scripts that do my backups so that they create a date stamp on the file name (e.g. database_xyz_20040221.sql.gz) That way I have a history of them and can easily go back to a specific date and retrieve the "most" correct version I need.

btw, any chance you're gonna make it to the Phoenix Forum this year? I know it's a big puddle jump for ya, but been wanting to meet you in person for going on 3 years now.
