<b>How to backup a MySql database</b>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To backup all your databases from MySql, I made the <a href='__SITEURL__/scripts/sqlbackup'>this script</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run this script from your crontab. Run this every night and it will dump
|
||
|
|
all of your databases added with a date into the directory /backup/sql You can
|
||
|
|
also remove the very old ones by crontab. My crontab looks like the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0 0 * * * find /backup/sql/ -mtime +5 -exec rm -rf {} \;
|
||
|
|
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/sqlbackup
