sorry for the silly question but I'm new to hosting :o

do I need to back up my coppermine gallery? if so, how often and what do I need to back up?
I looked on the coppermine forums but they are not very friendly. I know it's through myphpadmin.
will I get a CPU error if I'm backing up?

It's in PHPMyadmin.
Select the dbase of your CPG.
Hit export
select all tables.
Hit complete+extended inserts.
(I also add drop table but this is only advised when saving the file)
And than save as file.
If your gallery is very big there is a chanche you'll get a temp cpu freeze.
But that doesn't happen every time.

thanks Hercules.
if I got a Cpu freeze, does that mean I have to start all over again with the back up?

No, your download should go on anyway.
