Release - EQ database Backup/Restore Tool

Just finished a eqemu eq database backup program
-This tool can backup and restore any table/s or the entire database
-You can have up to three backups
-Visual Front End - Entirely code driven.

Tool is found here

Please keep in mind even though I tested this many times, my set-up can be different from yours and errors can result. Serious errors mean you have to source again.

Let me know of any bugs

installation -
place all files included in zip into eqemu folder (one with your boot5zones for example), You may have to place the .ocx in \windows\system32\ - if errors exist.
Install the mysql odbc drivers

updated for 0.6.6

Just checked for 0.6.6 compatibility and all appears to work. Table 'variables' causes issues, so do not backup/restore that table. All others work fine.
