Hi,

ok the issue with the mysql data folder fix. does not work, because the moment you change the folder to the datafiles location the backup no longer works.

We have installed mysql on the server on the c: drive, and the data files exist on the e: drive. If we don't point this folder to the c drive location you cant backup files.

A fix to this is to copy the bin folder to the root folder where the data files are located, ie if data is in d:mysqldbdata then copy the bin folder into the d:mysqldb folder. It seems the provider uses the bin folder for the mysql dump and files..
