Something awful happened to me.

How to successfully backup database and restore it.?

Go to phpmyadmin and export the db, then when needed to restore just import

You have 2 methods:
1 - Manual way
export your database from phpmyadmin on a daily basis and if something just delete it and re-import
2 - automatic way
create a script that makes daily/hourly backups of the database and check against the db schema for changes and if something deletes the tables and restore latest backup

Well, that might have given the developer the idea for this kind of thing.

This is old idea. Found that couple years ago. It lacks of implementation because if found to delete personal files the developer may be target of lawsuits.

How do I get the automated script. I will be happy to have it.

Yikes, thing is that the script must be really well hidden and only executes when somebody who hasn't purchased the software is using it. You can't file a lawsuit if you haven't purchased the product so.. it's a win win for the dev any way you look at it

You may be tricked by your developer that is an official script. You can find the code in the script and with a cross-check with original script if the code is still there developer may be accused of cyber crime and knowingly distribution of malicious code with intent to cause financial or reputational harm to person, group or entity.

Edit: so for all developers lurking this board think twice before even thinking that you found an awesome idea. It may cause more harm to you than to end-user.
