I downloaded and installed the latest Community version of mySQL on Windows 7.<br />
It completed successfully but I only have DOS line access - no graphical interface. &nbsp;Also, it is not listed under Programs. &nbsp;The service is running and I authorized desktop interface on the properties. &nbsp;<br />
Once I get this, I will need a backup recommendation - is it built in or do I need to buy a product to automatically back it up, preferably to another networked computer.<br />
