In this setup guide for WAMP, we will show you the simplest method to backup your WAMP server.

Before attempting any change, even the first time password setup, you should perform a full backup based on this setup backup guide for WAMP.

Note: Even this guide is used for Wampserver, you can apply this method on other wamp package such as Xampp, EasyPHP, so on. Just make sure to select correct file(s) in proper location(s) 😉

    A question directly related to wamp backup.

    One of my databases have a mixture of storage. Some tables are INNOB and others are MyIsam. I know I can still do the backup since the backup is a mere matter of copying the wamp folder to a safe location.

    What affects could there possibly be if I restored some files from the backup and those files were type INNOB?

      If you meant phpMyAdmin when mentioned MySQL monitor, then the way you use phpMyAdmin to log in and access Databases will not be the same like in commands. For INNODB, you can NOT copy and paste folder(s) like MyISAM but have no choice to backup/export as sql file then restore/import into new Database 😉

    I have a question and hope this is the right place for it, but if it is not please accept my apologies.

    I am running a local of my Joomla 1.5.23 website on WAMP and I have been using the mysql monitor, but there seem to be a lot of comman types or command statements that don’t work with this monitor such as;
    mysql> mysql -u root test; or mysql> mysql -u root -p.

    By doing a \h I get the help that show the active commands, so how are commands such as the above changed to work with the mysql monitor?

    You can right click on each file and set the security for each file. If you know how to use the mysql monitor you can do it there to, but knowing the commands takes some education if you cannot find the information by searching. These errors can cause access problems so they do need to be taken care of.

    I am a complete beginner and have just successfully completed installing Wamp and WordPress. Many many thanks for making each step so crystal clear! I have just one question that I just can not seem to find an answer through Google or wordpress, and I am very unsure what to do: I have just installed a new theme into WordPress, and when I enter into the themes featured panel there are a whole pile of errors, basically telling me to configure my permissions to 755. I do not have any idea how to do this, could you please help. I am using Windows7.

    Many thanks

    Many thanks

      wulbo, on Windows, don’t worry about those permissions; if still worry, you can right click on file(s) and select Read Only to protect them 😉
