i would like to set apache to be unable to serve a DB backup file, .sql, what would i need to add in the httpd.config to do so, i run my website at home, and of course, have full access to the webserver for manual backups, thnx in advance.

i do have mod security installed, and the rotate mod logs, just in case that means anything

Code:

IndexIgnore *.sql

<FilesMatch "\.(sql)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
