I use the following Script to backup a remote MySQL-Server.
DATUM=`date +"%Y_%m_%d__%H_%M"` BACKUPDIR="/home/jochen/SICHERUNG/MySQL_Dumps/debby/$DATUM" echo "" echo "Erzeuge Sicherungvereichnis $BACKUPDIR..." echo "" mkdir -p $BACKUPDIR for DB in db1 db2 do echo "" echo "Erzeuge lokele Sicherung der Datenbank $DB..." echo "" /usr/bin/mysqldump -uroot -pXXX -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --opt $DB > $BACKUPDIR/$DB.sql echo "" echo "Entferne moegliche Sicherungsduplikate..." echo "" rm -rf $BACKUPDIR/$DB.sql.gz echo "" echo "Komprimiere aktuelle Sicherungsdateien..." echo "" gzip $BACKUPDIR/$DB.sql done and I always get the following error: /usr/bin/mysqldump: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on '212.87.142.236' (111) when trying to connect Permissions are ok and I can modify the complete db with my php scripts. where's the error? -- Jochen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
