I have a production server and testing server. Every so often i need
to backup the production server and restore it for testing.

I ran the mysql administrator backup on only the db i needed, and
restored the db on the test server. It carried all of my tables over
but all the auto-increment fields lost thier auto-increment status.

How do i restore this stuff.
Sorry if it is a simple question i am new to mysql.

when you backup make sure you have a couple of things done right in the 
advanced options tab:
1-check add drop statements
2-check complete inserts
3-check comments (if need be)

then take the backup

when restoring make sure you select the file that was just backedup and 
make sure that the original schema is selected for target schema and 
that file type is sql, then just click the restore button and it should 
restore everything including the autoincrements

Here is what i have
I selected my database (ips) and made sure that all the
views,procedures,functions, and tables were selected
on the advanced tab (these are selected)
  InnoDB online backup
  complete bakcup
  add drop statements
  complete inserts
  comments
  fully qualified identifiers
  compatibility mode
  disable keys
  backup type is sql files

I run the backup
copy the file

to restore
  i select the file i just backed up
  backup type sql files
  original schema
  charset: utf8

and start restore
  All my tables, procs .. seem to come over fine, i just don't see the
autoinc flag.

Thanks for you help.

one thing you may want to do is open up the backup file and see if your 
table definitions include the autoincrement flags on the fields where 
they should be set.

my backup file does not include any identity statements.
