Here's what I use : --- #!/bin/sh # # dump database(s) each day --table by table # DBS=auth sales ar ap gl misc DUMP=$HOME/archive/database DIR=`date +%a` cd $DUMP mkdir -p $DIR rm -f Today ln -sf $DIR Todayauth cd $DIR for K in $DBS do TBLS=`mysql -N -e show tables $K` for I in $TBLS do mysqldump -e -q --add-drop-table $K $I $K.$I.dmp rm -rf $K.$I.dmp.gz gzip $K.$I.dmp done done --- This gives a 7 day rotation, Mon-Sun. With the latest dump in the 'Today' directory. Regards, -- Don Read [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- It's always darkest before the dawn.
