Backup Database
I Have been using mysql for a while. I downloaded this from mysql site and I created/edit whatever only on the command prompt. My question is, since my database is huge now. I want to copy that database into somewhere else that is safe cause I am going to upgrade my codes, just to prevent if something goes wrong then i can get back my tables and datas. How can I do that?

No 'BACKUP TABLE' Nor 'BACKUP DATABASE' In MySQL 6.0.4
I've installed MySQL 6.0.4-alpha and trying to restore some tables found that there's no BACKUP/RESTORE TABLE/DATABASE, it returns 'You have an error in your SQL syntax' and to check the corresponding version manual, but in the documentation area it is only 6.0 (does it apply to 6.0.4?) What can I do? I've exported from a different database version as text and I will try to insert as text, but how can I make future backup/restore?

BACKUP DATABASE * TO '/tmp/all.backup'; - DOES NOT WORK
I have troubles with 'BACKUP DATABASE', I thought it was problem of syntax, but have tried even the samples in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/backup-database.html and the command is not recognized $ mysql --version mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 6.0.4-alpha, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using EditLine wrapper mysql> BACKUP DATABASE * TO '/tmp/all.backup'; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'BACKUP DATABASE * TO '/tmp/all.backup'' at line 1 Have tried 'BACKUP TABLE' but does not work either and documentation tells it has been removed...

Database Backup And Synchronization
How do I synchronize MySQL table data of my home PC with latest data from a remote server ? My home PC is on a very slow internet connection, so implementing replication will cause long time read lock on remote server, which is not desirable. What are the tools for manual sync of tables?

Partial Database Backup
I am developing a hosting solution for a popular open source script: on the website users can sign up to get their own "virtual" copy of the script. There is a single database, but own tables for each user. Database tables engine is currently MyISAM, but I am going to change it to InnoDB. What I need is to let each user download a backup of own data, and restore it when s/he wants. The users shouldn't be able to change other users' tables structure/contents. Also, the backup should be encrypted, so they can't simply check out its contents. One of the possible solutions is to tar the tables files, encrypt the archive, and that would be the backup. But in case user decrypts the archive, s/he would be able to change table structure and other details, making the system function improperly. Of course, as encryption algorithm strength grows, it becomes harder to encrypt the archive and make the system work incorrectly and/or change other users' info. Should I just use some strong encryption algorithm and tar the table files? Does InnoDB allow to work with table files of an open database? Or should I lock the required tables for that?

How Do I Set Up A Regular Backup Of My Database?
I know I can do it manually in phpMyAdmin, but is there a way to set up a scheduled back-up say once a day? It would be even better if I could set up some sort of cycle where at any one time I'd have 7 versions backed up (Monday-Sunday) and each day that backup would overwrite its old version (that is, on Monday the db backup would be saved over the old Monday backup, and on Tuesday it would be saved over the Tuesday backup). Just in case something goes unnoticed for a couple days I would have the ability to jump back to a given day within a week.

How To View Database Backup Records
I have two backups for my database. I want to view the data in each backup. How can I do this? I use EMS SQLmanager for viewing the db that is online. BTW, following is the reason that I want to view the data. The db is backed up once every three hours using a cron job. Before Monday, each b/u file was about 14MB. Then beginning with one b/u on Monday, each b/u file was about 7MB. I want to view the number of records in each b/u to determine where the difference is.

Error Trying To Backup My Online Database
I am trying to back up a large database and using command line seems the only way to do it, as other methods just time out. This is the process I use: 1) Open up cmd 2) Navigate to the bin directory of my mySQL installation in program files 3) Connect to the database by typing in the cmd: - mysql -h OnlineHostname -u dbuser -p ENTER - password: ***** ENTER 4) show databases; ENTER 5) use mydatabase; ENTER 6) Database changed Now that has successfully selected my database. This is where I struggle. For the next line I have tried many many combinations to back up this database and they have all given an error, saying that i have a syntax error. Here is an example of what I tried: mysqldump -u DBusername -pDBpassword -h OnlineHostname DatabaseName > C:/file.sql ; Can anyone offer any suggestions as I am totally stumped by this. I am using mySQL 5.0.

Restoring From Backup To New Database With Tally Tables
I've hit a bit of a snag with restoring from a mysql backup. I've used mysqldump to make the backup:- mysqldump --opt --skip-add-drop-table --no-create-info --complete-insert -uuser -ppass -hlocalhost databasename > ./sampledump.bak I've got a new copy of the database that has all the tables created and some new data loaded into it. Some of the tables act as tallies for pieces of data, such:- ID (unique), totalamount How can I restore from the backup so that these table rows are merged rather than replaced? I.e backup has:- user1 (ID), 1000 (totalamount)

Backup With Mysqldump Takes Hours, Database Is Not That Big
Hello, I've been having some problems making database backups. I've searched all around and I notice that to most people it only takes a few minutes to backup huge databases (1+ gb). My database is around 350mb and it can take up to 4-5 hours to backup, which I guess it not normal at all. My server has a dual Xenon with 4gb ram, using mysql 5.0.27-1.fc6 and php 5.1.6-3.6.fc6. I am using Fedora Core6 with Plesk. The database is around 350mb, with around 1.1 million rows. To backup I use mysqldump -uroot -p database > backup.sql As I said, the above takes hours. I guess it should take minutes?

How To Backup Database Data Without Direct Server Access
I need to backup a MySQL database (MySQL 4.0). But it is on a shared-hosting web server and so I don't have direct server access. I also have no phpMyAdmin installed. How can I backup the database? I think it is possible with PHP (version 5.0.2 is installed on the web server) to create a file with SQL commands which restore the data, but what is the easiest way to do it?

Auto-backup Database - Delete Backups Older Than X Days
I am not planning on doing this yet but I need to know from a feasibility point of view. I know it is possible to set up cron jobs to automatically backup databases on whatever time cycle you want but I have no experience writing them. Does anyone know how you tell it to backup your database with a name and a timestamp, while also deleting backups older than x (7 for example) days? Also does anyone know how to keep backups secure online? Do you encrypt them? Do you download them to a local server? To your own computer (unless its a very large database)? How do people practically go about making sure backups work, and secure them effectively. And if you do download them to your own local computer, how do you go about doing that? Is it an automatic thing? I just have all these questions but I have no idea about going about performing backups the most efficient and secure way!

Backup MySQL Via Port 3306 (which Tool? Automatic Backup?)
i have quite a big database on my website - and i cannot get any backup via system dump or scripts anymore, because my hoster added some memory limits - and scripts/dump can't finish... so the only way left is to backup my database via connection to port 3306 and tools like mysqlfront. mysqlfront is unfortunately quite slow and buggy - so do you know any tools which can backup databases via external connection? - it would be great if there are tools which run automatically? (batch/commandline??) backup with mysql.exe - h -u .... is impossible, too!

Getting A Backup
we started using a doc management system that requires MySQL. Therefore I need to find out the quickest and less error prone way to create a backup of my MySQL databases. I found some nice resources on the net, but most already start telling me that method x works only for table types a and b, while method y is for table type c only. So first question would be how to find out which kind of table types I have in my database (as they were created by the application, not me).Any other hint on how to get a fool-proof backup (*cough... also easy to restore) would be very much appreciated. A small downtime of the databases (e.g. write lock) is not a problem, as our netapp can make a volume snapshot in matter of seconds.platform
