I have a development site on a remote server. I've installed the Backup_Migrate module and found that it only copies the Drupal code not the database, images, etc.
I do not want to continue developing on the remoter server site as the save times can frequently be 1 minute or so even after small changes to css code. So trialing css code changes can take a long time over all.
I tried cPanel on the server but the resultant mysql.tar.gz seems to produce only the same as the backup_migrate module produces.
When I used the b_m module to restore to my home pc it killed my Drupal installation, WSOD.
When I have all the drupal site and mysql database I can develop at home, fix issues then intend to migrate it back to the server but after the current experience am nervous.
I can find nothing to help understand the process or what I should or should not be doing in migrating a drupal system. Can someone please advise me. Thanks Roger
