Back up error

Permalink
Guys, Just tried my first back up and got this:

mysql error: [1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-igrieves' at line 1] in EXECUTE("SHOW TABLES FROM web171-igrieves")

Looks serious! ????

All help appreciated!

Hi,
i got the same backup-error and find out, that it is the '-' in the database name. When i changed the Database name into a name without the '-' it worked. But unfortunatelly my provider (HostEurope) doesn't allow changing the database name, so i have to make my database-backup with phpMyAdmin on the host-server.
I hope you can do the same.
I don't know if it's a problem of the server and/or MySql-version, or if it's a problem of concrete5.
Maybe someone can help ?
