MYSQL :: Restore From Backup With MySQL Admin

MySql Admin Schedule Backup
Mysql Admin 1.1.9 (server2k3)

I would like to schedule a backup of my db with MySql Admin. The concept is fairly easy but I probably miss something since the schedule backup is not running...

I've created a new backup project - named the project - Selected the db

I've selected InnoDb Online Backup left everything default

Last I've set a scedule backup every day at 23:00 with a target folder and file name

Do I need to do something more ? The scedule task is not running at all, the only way I can backup my db is by running it manually.

MySQL Admin InnoDB Backup
I'm having trouble backing up my InnoDB tables. The structure is backed up but the data isn't. I've tried every option that MySQL Admin offers. Does someone know of a solid way to backup InnoDB tables whithout bringing the database offline?

Backup Options Non Functional - MySQL Admin
I have inherited a small MySQL database, version 5.x.

I have installed MySQL Administrator. I would like to try the backup utilities offered in this application, but they are all greyed-out and non-functional. It doesn't matter whether the application is run on the local host or on a client workstation -- the backup features are non-functional.

Mysql Backup And Restore For 4.1.x
I have mysql 4.1.11 on my current server, i need my database restore another
server.. (another server mysql version is 4.1.11 same.)

And now... I just created new my database to new server following command:

CREATE DATABASE dbname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin5 COLLATE
latin5_turkish_ci;

because our database and tables uses latin5 and turkish_ci collation.

How can i get correct backup and restore for this character sets? example;

mysqldump -uUSER -pDBNAME > /path/backup.sql

and restore;

mysql -uUSER -pDBNAME < /path/backup.sql

is this correct for me?

OR

mysqldump --default-character-set=latin5 -uUSER -pDBNAME > /path/backup.sql

and restore;

mysql --default-character-set=latin5 -uUSER -pDBNAME < /path/backup.sql

some peoples suggest me --default-character-set= variable for mysql 4.1.x
backups and restore, is this correct? also if we backup database
--default-character-set option, restore command is same option will need to
use?

Looking For A Backup/restore MySQL DB Application
I'm looking for a very simple application to backup/restore a mySQL database.

Actually, I would need to be able to launch the application from a command line so that I dont have to select a profile or anything like that...just put the command line in a bat file, run the bat file and everything is done.

I've already tried :

- Backup Watcher for Mysql
- MyWitch
- DumpTimer
- SQLyog
- MySQL Snap

None of them seems to work with a command line.

MySQL Administrator Backup/Restore
I use Backup option in MySQL Administrator to backup Database & Data. When go to Restore Backup file, restoring process (showing on progress bar) is allways finished before reaching full size of Backup file. Is that mean that NOT all data are restored? (I can't check whole database because of large amount of data).

Backup/Restore Mysql Database From Remote Server To Local Pc
Im trying to download mysql database "dbproducts1" which is residing in my webhost's server (Linux). From telnet i backed up using "mysqldump -u -p dbproducts1 > dbproducts1.sql"

Then i downloaded this file via ftp to my local pc(WinXP). Now on my local pc to restore database i went to command prompt and i did following:

mysql -u -p dbproducts1 < dbproducts1.sql

I got following error:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 380: 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 '-workshop (
title varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
decription longtext NOT ' at line 1

I opened the phpmyadmin and found that dbproducts1 database was restored but with only few tables i.e. not all tables in the db was restored.

Can somebody please help me to backup/restore this database. I checked the mysql server version and found following:

server version: 5.0.24a-community in my local winxp pc
server version: 3.23.36 in my webhost's server (Linux)

How To Backup/restore To Move Databases From One Server To Another (Win2k3 Enterprise, Mysql)
I'm trying to move a "schema" (I guess thats the term) aka database from our webserver2 to our webserver3. I backup the .sql file, and move it over to webserver3. I tell it to restore that file and create the database if it does not exist. Part way thru i get all these errors like: Code:

Backup / Restore
I have this one FreeBSD box (nice Dell with one 40GB HDD). I have made a replica of the drive and put it on the secondary IDE channel. I want to do a restore of all the MySQL db's to the second drive right after the backup takes place from the primary drive.

The reasoning behind this is that this is the only system running this particular app and the company that wrote it went belly so, I NEED to have the ability to just swap drives bring it back up and be done.

Backup/Restore
I'm migrating a web site from my testing system on my local machine to the web host upon which it will live. My testing server is running MySQL v. 5.0.22, and the remote host is running 4.0.24. I am using MySQL Administrator v. 1.0.10 to run a backup and export my tables to an SQL file, and PHPMyAdmin to import the SQL file and run it on the server. At first, I was getting a 1065 - Query is Empty error. After reading through some of the postings here, I realized that some of the commented strings at the top of the file were unnecessary, and probably the cause of my error, so I removed them. I re-ran a backup that would only backup the appropriate tables and write the appropriate data (the database schema on my server is named differently, so I don't need to back up the full path). After editing the file to remove the uneeded stuff, I recieve a different error message, regarding an error in the SQL syntax of the dump file. The error in question occurs on a line that reads as follows:

)ENGINE = MYIASM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1;

The error in question is as follows:

#1064 - 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 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 21

I'm having a hard time finding the issue, and would really appreciate if somebody might point me in the right direction to help me create a backup file that my server will interpret charitably and restore the data I need. I'm getting to the point where I may have to re-enter it all by hand, and that thought depresses me quite thoroughly.

Backup/restore
Working on a single machine (win2k) needing to do backups. Trying Backup
Table with the following syntax:

BACKUP TABLE tbldealers TO 'c:mysqlackups'
BACKUP TABLE tbldealers TO /mysql/backups

I've tried with/without quotes, ticks, nothing except the path. I either
get error in syntax, or I do get 1 row in set, but there are no files in
that directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've read the manual as extensively as I know to and can't find anything on
backup table syntax.

I'd prefer to stay away from mysqldump and mysqlhotcopy and control the
backups myself.

Backup / Restore
I have recently installed a Fedora server - something new to me. I am just trying to get my mysql database from my old windows server, onto my fedora box.I have tried, mysql_administrator to create backups and restore but it hasn't worked.I have also used the following two commands from root to do it:

(to read from the windows server and create a dump on the local machine)

followed by:

I got the error:

Restore A Backup
I have made a backup of my phpbb forum db. For some reason I can't get it restored. I'm running my own server on linux, the only thing is I'm new to this too. lol I was wondering if there's a way to transfer ther MySQL file and just have it merge itself into the MySQL system? I have access to the console if that helps. Sorry if I sound confusing.

Restore Backup Sql
If I backup the database using
shell> mysqldump --all-databases > all_databases.sql

How do I restore it? Mysql documentation only mentioned below:
shell> mysql db_name < backup-file.sql

This is only to restore one databas, not ALL databases I wanted. My guess would be
shell> mysql < all_databases.sql

Is that correct?

Backup And Restore
Can we take the back up and restore of mysql database programatically.
Including some exe files or something.

InnoDB Backup And Restore
I've just converted the tables in a big database (approx 27 million
records) from MyISAM to InnoDB. When I was using MyISAM I backed up
the database by stopping MySQL and then copying the MYI, MYD, frm
files in the database directory, and restored the database in the same
way.

Is there a similar way to backup and restore InnoDB tables, or do I
have to use the InnoDB Hot Backup tool?

Backup And Restore Database
i did a backup of mysql database using the command line utility

mysqldump. this is the command i used "mysqldump -u root -h <hostname> --databases <dbname> > <backupfile>

when i try to restore this using mysql command line client it gives a error after some time the message says that a error has happened on a line number and it states that the table columns does not match the values in the insert statmenet.

i havent done any cahnges to the backup file i just dumped and restored thats all

but when i tried this with mysql administrator gui tool it worked fine.

Quality Of Backup And Restore
I am using mysql administrator to perform scheduled daily backups of my
employee database.

What guarantee do I have after doing a restore that everything has
restored correctly?

My boss want wants a log of the number of employees in the database to
be created at backup time (eg: 4388). Then after restore we should
manually check that the number of employees in the database is the same
(= 4388) to give us confidence that everything is back as it was. I
believe this approach sounds terribly antiquated (back from the days of
mainframes) but without something better what confidence do we have?

In any case the backup is automated in mysql administor so how could I
create this log of the number of employees at backup time? I don't see
how I could.

As a less important question my boss also wants scheduled backups at
12pm and 5pm daily but mysql administator only supports one per day I
understand. Any ideas?

Backup And Restore Greyed Out
I installed the MYSQL administrator, and created a new database with some tables. I want to create an sql dump of this DB now, but all functions in backup and restore are greyed out in the Administrator.

This is quite a silly question and problem, but I don't see what the problem can be. (I logged in as root).

How Do I Do A Complete Backup/restore
I have a mySQL database on an ISP site that I am using. Now, I need to move the complete database to another ISP. I cannot use command-line execution.

I do this all of the time with SQL Server and Access databases, but I can't figure out how to do it with a mySQL database.

Newbie Seeks Help Using Backup/restore
I am attempting to bring over a MySQL database from a Windows XP server
to a Sun Solaris server. I seem to be having permission problems, but I
don't even know where to start.

NOTE: I have root access to MySQL, but cripplingly little access to the
server itself. If I knew what access to request, I could probably get
it, but I don't know
I was able to find the .frm files for the old database, as well as to
output a .sql backup file, and to store them on the new server. I tried
to restore them using the following steps:

[Login to MySQL as root user and enter password, then...]

CREATE DATABASE mpf1;
USE mpf1;
RESTORE TABLE submitted_records FROM '/var/apache2/htdocs';

(Note: htdocs is one of the few places I have permission to access.)

And it said "error copying .frm file errno13" and failed to create the
table.

So then I tried it again with FROM
'/var/apache2/htdocs/submitted_records.frm';

same error. Ditto when I went and maxed out the permissions on those
..frm files.

Next, I tried creating a dummy database on the Solaris server and
backing it up to see whether I was having version/migration problems.

BACKUP TABLE dummy_table TO...

Same error.

Anyone have any ideas on where to go with this? I can ask the sysadmin
(at another location) for anything I like, so long as I know why I'm
asking for it

ERROR 1064 When Trying To Restore From Backup
Some time ago I installed MySQL on Debian Sarge ia64 and ended up with v. 4.1.11. I went on to build a database and a few days ago I wanted to copy it across to a web server, running Debian Sarge i386. I installed MySQL on the web server. As this was installed via FTP I was a bit pussled to see that I ended up with MySQL 4.0.24. Anyway, I thought no more about it, until I tried to copy across my MySQL 4.1.11 database. I backed up the original MySQL 4.1.11 database thus:

# mysqldump -u root -p databasename > datavasename_bak.sql

and encountered no problems. I also tried to restore it and everything seemed just fine.

I then copied the backup file across to the web server and tried to restore it with the command:

mysql -uroot -p databasename < databassename_bak.sql

whish resulted in the following error message:

ERROR 1064 at line 21: 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 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 27

Having searched various forums it seems that this is a common error, but I have not been able to find any advice as to how it may be fixed.

Just to make sure that there was nothing wrong with by installation I deinstalled the MySQL 4.1.11 version and installed it again (via FTP), which gave me a real surprise, as I now ended up with version 4.0.24. It seems that the Debian team has decided to go back to v. 4.0.24.

I don't know why; I can only guess that there might be problems with v. 4.1.11. So, I now have compatible databases (booth 4.0.24) on the development machine and the web server, but I am left with an empty database and a backup (4.1.11) that I cannot restore. Is there a solution to this problem?

Backup/restore User Accounts
I have mysql 5.0.14? installed.
I need to make a fresh installation of 5.0.18 (no update).
I can create a backup of my database (export) and import it
into the new version.

But how can I migrate my useraccounts?

The probem is, I tried re-creating a user with same pwd in the new version,
assigned privileges to that user and the user to my freshly imported database,
but when trying to access the DB using a script, it tells me that "user" has no access.

Backup And Restore Loads Of Db's
how would you go about backing up loads of databases (around 80megs worth) and then put them into another server.
I can do a mysqldump --all-databases > myBackup.sql
but i dont know how to get it back in on the other server?
I did try exporting with mysqladministrator, but the linux system just closed the program when I tried to restore it (it worked hwen i tried it on windows)

Accidentally Deleted Root Account - Backup Available, How To Restore?
I managed to blindly delete the root account from the mysql user list through Webmin while on a cleanup spree. As you might be able to tell i'm completely stuck, no permissions to do anything, and I would really like to get access back.

I have, by stroke of luck, a backup of all databases I made some time ago.. the problem is, without permissions, how do I get it back in there?

Is there any way to do this without completely removing MySQL from my machine and reinstalling it?

Server details:
Mandriva Linux 10.2, MySQL 4.1.11, Apache 2, PHP4, etc.

I've got a backup of the 'mysql' database that I believe holds the usernames/passwords?

Backup/Restore And Collation/encoding Question [Resolved]
i know nothing of Mysql and i have a problem which i think should be easy for you guys that know about Mysql so i would be obliged for your help.

I have an online site which i try to install in my local php/mysql environment for testing e.t.c.

The problem is that the onlione site is using greek and english characters.
I use phpmyadmin for both backup and restores.

When i backup the database the phpmyadmin of my hoster gives me various choices of the encoding to be used with default the en-iso-8859-1.

When i try to restore it in my local environment i also have various option for the restore with default the utf-8 encoding.

Unfortunatelly after the restore my site gets all greek characters subtituted with many ???????'s

I tried exporting the database with utf-8 and restore it with the same encoding but the problem persists.

So i guess i will have to backup with en-iso-8859-1 (which actually my site pages uses also) and restore it with the same encoding which doesnt exists in my local phpmyadmin (or is it there but i have to choose another encoding?).

So what should i do?

I tried to read the docs about collation and encoding but i understand so few.

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!

What Do You Use For Mysql Admin?
what you all use for mysql administration? i know learning for the command line is essential but sometimes that takes too long and a gui is needed. I've been using phpmyadmin forever. is there anything else out there faster better more useful?

MySQL 4.0.xx Admin And Usage
I've recently taken over my non-profit's Web site design, administration and maintenance with relatively little MySQL experience (although I have learned a great deal very quickly). My question is, does anyone know where I can get a manual or something like the current manual "Building your Own Website Using PHP and MySQL .."(ordered from sitepoint.com site). This manual is basing the MySQL on the most current version of 5. I'm looking for something similar that addresses the 4.0.xx(27 specifically) of MySQL

Transfering Another Db Into MySQL Admin
Is there anyway to upload a database into MySQL that is not a MySQL database.

Special MySQL Admin
I’m looking for a solution to create a limited numbers of MySQL-Databases. In other words a front-end for users.

The software AutoControPro (www.directphp.com) has this feature, but is very expensive to buy the soft only for the My-SQL feature.

I should have the possibility to limit the Databases for every user and the user should have the possibility to create the appropriate numbers of Databases. Example:

User1 can create 3 MySQL-Database
User2 can create 5 MySQL-Database

If the User installs phpMyadmin he should get only the assigned Databases.

Admin User In MySQL 5.0
I've just installed MySQL 5.0 on my sun box (runing Solaris 10, install
from blastwave). This is my first time with MySQL so I don't have any
exp with it.

I have some troubles as:
- I set password for root account via this command:

# mysql -h atlantis -u root mysql
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD('123456') where user = 'root';
mysql> exit

However, I can login again with root account without pass check ????

- Next, I create new user name admin
# mysql -h atlantis -u root
mysql> create user admin identified by 'admin' ;
mysql> create database newdb ;
mysql> GRAND ALL ON newdb.* TO 'admin' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin' ;

Once again, i can't use admin account to login to newdb database?

Trick MySQL Admin
There are a few features in mysql administrator that are only available if you are connected to a localhost...this is useless if you are using a remote web server, linux based and need to monitor some of this information.

Anyone have any idea if there is a way to allow the following functions to work without local host?
