Following on from my post one twig up in this thread ..
So now I have three ways to save the database:
1. syncing from another machine with %dump=wherever... in the alias 2. drush sql-dump --result-file=wherever... 3. drush sql-sync @mysite @mysite
They all produce different sql - which is best?
From a processing perspective admittedly 3. is terrible because I presume it exports the db then re-imports it.
I seek a reliable practice to adopt then if I always do it the same way I can happily shove the current db in a git repo (hey its only a small database).
