Well it happened at a bad time, the server has limited some of the things we can do. The option in vB to download the database is good when the database is small. But our database is HUGE! And so it times out, the only proper way to do it is through telnet. The problem being that we couldn't get access to telnet, or it isn't enabled.
I think that this will prove a lesson to us, and will come about us making an easier way to backup the database through telnet. So that it shouldn't take more than an hour or so depending on the database size.
It also depends on when our next server threat occurs, which I hope doesn't, of course.
Alcar...
