for a Wordpress site. Is this possible? I know I need an SQL file copy of my database, but as far as I understand, you need access to the GoDaddy Hosting Control Center for that server. I don't have access to the GoDaddy login information, but I do have all the info to connect to the server in Filezilla. Is it at all possible to export a backup to an SQL file just in the FTP? If not, is there any way around it? ---------------- EDIT: NEW QUESTION I got the file! BUT, I'm getting an error when trying to move the site over. ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 387: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 I found line 387 in the SQL file, but there are a lot of "1"s. Can anyone explain how I can identify the error more specifically?
the database file is not on the same server as you wordpress files. You need the login info to the database to back it up.
Yes, if you admin rights to the wordpress install, you can use a plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/installation/
it's funny (well infuriating), I added the Wordpress plugin to the hosting account of my new domain and it completely took away my ability to login to the old site. Such a bummer. Thanks for the help.
