I use a shell script and set up a cron job. Here's the shell script (I call it mydbbak.sh)
################################################################# #!/bin/sh # # Create /dbbakup directory # $1 = Unix/MySQL Username # $2 = Unix/MySQL Password if [ ! -e /dbbakup ] then mkdir /dbbakup chmod 777 /dbbakup -R fi mysqldump -u$1 -p$2 -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --flush-logs --databases database1>/dbbakup/database1.sql mysqldump -u$1 -p$2 -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --flush-logs --databases database2>/dbbakup/database2.sql mysqldump -u$1 -p$2 -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --flush-logs --databases database3>/dbbakup/database3.sql ################################################################# And here's the line from the crontab ... # Make backups of databases at 3am daily 0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/mydbbak.sh Gerald Jensen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ilyas Keser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 5:26 PM Subject: backup script Has anyone a shell script example to backup all mysql databases at 3 o'clock at the night?
