[QUOTE="krs, post: 1812914, member: 67742"] The fields that are a bit too short are all part of the custom template of the 4images site.. But a couple of years back when I could still get a hold of the person who created the custom templates, he told me that somehow there is a basic setting in the DB where the field has to be extended before the extension in the custom template will take hold - like I increase the number of characters in the template HTML code from say 20 to 30, but the DB itself limits the length to 25 so 25 becomes the maximum in the template as well. The other problem is that this template was created more than ten years ago, the base 4images software (on that site) was never updated since that time but of course the base 4images software has gone through a number of updates but we are concerned if we do update the 4images base to the current version, the template may require changes and in the worst case we loose all the data which is close to 10000 entries. When I look at backup options of the SQL database on the host website, it essentially says that the backup ends up with the host - I would like to somehow download the complete database to my Mac. Is that not possible? [/QUOTE]
