Description:
The file created by the backup option with full insert statements appends and extra ',' after the last ')' and before the last ';' of a table dumpping.

so instead of having something like:

INSERT INTO `invoice_details` (`transaction_id`,`product_id`,`quantity`,`descount_rate`,`tax_rate`,`subtotal`) VALUES 
 (17641,924,1,0,0,60),
 (17642,923,3,0,0,900),
 (17642,924,3,0,0,180),
 (17643,970,1,0,0,15),
 (17644,692,1,25,0,8),
 (17644,772,1,25,0,8);          <--------- Here is ok

we have:

INSERT INTO `invoice_details` (`transaction_id`,`product_id`,`quantity`,`descount_rate`,`tax_rate`,`subtotal`) VALUES 
 (17641,924,1,0,0,60),
 (17642,923,3,0,0,900),
 (17642,924,3,0,0,180),
 (17643,970,1,0,0,15),
 (17644,692,1,25,0,8),
 (17644,772,1,25,0,8),;       <--------- Check the extra ',' at the end

How to repeat:
Create a bakup with extended inserts. Check the file sintax error or try to restore the backup file.
