Hello/Hi/Greetings,
Have loaded the plugin 'Virtualize'. When triggered there is a dialog that includes the line
"Make sure you have a backup of your "galleries" directory and a dump of your database."
Backing up the galleries directory is easy enough but how do I dump my database?
Piwigo version
Piwigo 2.8.5

I run "cron" to automatically do this everyday.
I can also do it from my host admin panel (only allowed once a day through this method).
There are other ways as well
Get with your host and they will tell you how to backup your database.
