It seems to be a combination of the mail line and then the command use. It works fine on ASO servers but not others - as soon as I get a fix I will post it. Sorry! nomad: Sorry about the error – it was found earlier.

Mark I’m new to shell script but there is something weird here:

if
mail -s “MySQL Backup” -a backup-$DATE.sql.gz $MAILADDR
else
echo ‘Your mySQL Backup is attached’ | mutt -a backup-$DATE.sql.gz $EMAIL -s “MySQL Backup”
then
rm backup-$DATE.sql.gz
fi

If
else
then
fi

Is that correct?

The email address is there as well as in the script. I would install it as I have said, but set it for every hour - then wait until you either get an error message or you get the backup file. It won't blow up your server :) Your host will be able to advise further. nomad – it should be just fine.
