1st time database backup from within ee

[yosemite]

the 1st time you want to do a backup using the ee UTILITIES/ db backup/restore you may get a error page saying that it can not connect to the database.

go to> /yourgallery/your renamed admin folder/backup/ee_backup_prefs/preferences.php and add you db name, username, and pass.

Thanks also, couldn't find it in the instructions and thought I'd done something wrong

Please also DOWNLOAD the resulted backup file. If the server disk crashes it plus backups of photo folders (you've backed up those, too, right?) will be the only thing to get your EE back online fast.
