    Hi

    I am currently changing my web hosts and though my new host is in that propogation period, my old host is shutting down my account. The only way I can stop them doing that is to pay another full year and I obviously don't want to do that.

    I need to do a back up of my web site (discoverboo.com) and I KNOW where to go to do this in my CP.

    The only issue is I don't know WHICH one I really need (there are three choices) I have always just downloaded all of them.

    One is called discover_bvlt1(37)
    Two is called discover_wblog1(10)
    Three is called discover_information_schema(53)

    dicoverboo.com is my ONLY web site, so I don't know where the other one's have come from or if they are needed.

    Can you tell me or help me to figure out which one holds the files specifically for the web site? The one I will need to upload to the new host so I don't lose the families blog.

    Thank you. I think I only have a day or two before they close me down for lack of payment. I am moving from them because of their stupidly high fee's compared to other web hosting companies.

    Boo

    From your list, I'm going to guess that you'll need the discover_wblog1 database.
