Sorry to ask, but are you unable to read or are you just too stupid to understand exp is essentially a series of INSERT statements, and NOT a *physical* backup (if you don't understand the difference between 'physical' and 'logical' please look up those words in a dictionary), and you will *LOOSE* (I repeat L O O S E) ALL (I repeat A L L) Transactions made after your export?
