Re: backing up mySQL database ?

[Neil Tompkins]

I rent my mySQL database from my ISP would this be a problem ? Maybe you provide me with a simple example ? Since I'm very new to mySQL and have no knowledge of unix.

Thanks
Neil

You don't have to develop or buy anything. You can use mysqldump in
conjunction with a shell script to do what you want, and automate it with
either the Windows Scheduler (on Win32) or a cronjob (Linux, *nix).

Subject: backing up mySQL database ?


Hello,

I'm looking to either development a software application that will allow me
to automatically at scheduled intervals backup my mySQL databases.  I would
like to save the table structures and data.  I;ve used mySQL Front that
allows you to backup these, but I need it to be automated e.g every 2
hours...

Can someone point me in the right direction.  I will look to develop the
software is Delphi 6 or C++ Builder 5.

The other option I have is to purchase some software that will allow me to
do this.  Any suggestions or recommendations ?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Neil
