This is very usefull especially for larger blogs, because their backup takes a longer time. With this option enabled, you have the guarantee of a clean and full backup of your database. All other requests to your database from other resources were blocked in the time of the backup and all the performance of the MySQL-Server will be taken for the backup. = How to use = * MySQLDumper must be installed and has to run full funtionally. This includes the crontab, MySQLDumper uses. How to install MySQLDumper: Please visit [the official website](http://www.mysqldumper.de/tutorials/) for several tutorials and videotutorials where you can see, how to install MySQLDumper.

This you must edit twice in the code! When you have edited the code, save the two commands and go back to the MySQLDumper Configuration. Now you can choose the commands in the required field.
