Introduction
The purpose of this program is to provide an easy way to download backup copies your website's MySQL database files to your local computer. It can be used to backup up files from up to 30 different remote locations. You can also use it to backup any other types of files if needed.

After you enter your remote file download links, database file names, and local save paths into the Excel spreadsheet, the utility will create an HTML document with hyperlinks for backing up your database files. The backed up file names will be suffixed with the current date / time.

For example, if your database file on the web server is named drpl1.gz, then the downloaded backup file saved on March 08, 2009 can be named drpl1 03-08-2009.gz. There are also options to save the file using many alternative date formats such as of drpl1 08-03-2009.gz (European) and drpl1 March-08-2009.gz for example.

Below are the Date / Time file naming options available
drpl1 03-08-2009.gz
drpl1 08-03-2009.gz
drpl1 March-08-2009.gz
