Hi Jim happy holidays to you! actually you just need to add the --routines trigger
mysqldump --all-databases --*routines* > fulldump.sql with this you get all databases including the system one with privileges (mysql), triggers is on by default, you enable routines with the flag --* routines* * * Keep in mind that this method needs any application to be stopped from writing either by shutting it down, blocking it at network level or locking the database with something like FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; Depending on your application, your SLA, etc. Keep also in mind that for database larger than a few GB it is not recommended to use mysqldump (text dump) but any binary method, among which Percona XtraBackup in my opinion is the golden tool, derived from InnoBackup allows hot backups.
