Bash: MySQL backup enhanced version
Blogs20112011-06-04
I got āBill Hernandezās script for MySQL Database Backup by using bash+mysqldump. It is a enhanced version: backups all the tables in a Database in a single command, and is suitable to put into crontab.
I changed the original scripts, .e.g., remove sudo, chmod previleges to make it easier running. It works fine in Linux environment. The following is the updated script:
#!/bin/bash
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqldump.html
# ( 1 ) Backs up all info to time stamped individual directories, which makes it easier to track
# ( 2 ) Now maintains a single log that contains additional information
# ( 3 ) Includes a file comment header inside each compressed file
# ( 4 ) Used more variables instead of hard-code to make routine easier to use for something else
