    Hi,

    I need a good MySQL script that logs in to mysql DB and reads out all DB to a txt file, that tha script goes in and make a backup on every DB it finds in that txt files.
    This becase that users/customers delete/add DB during the day

    Maybe someone already have a script like this and like to share?
    i will do some research and get back with more information, feel free to help me =)

    If you want real MySQL backup, and not to worry anymore, you should take a look at ZRM for MySQL (Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL). It is open source and also available with support contracts.

    Is you only have a few databases you can use the backup mysql function in Webmin. It writes the databases to .sql files or you can tar it.

    I do the backup every hour on the server, en sync it to my home pc every day and weekly with SyncBack.

    Solution!

    Hi
    found the solution i was asking about earlier =)

    make a mysql.sh that you need to logon to mysql shell:
    /usr/bin/mysql -h localhost -u root -pYourePasswd < list.sh


    And make list.sh and put:
    SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA INTO OUTFILE 'db-list';
    then you can find it under "/var/lib/mysql/db-list"

    My next part is to use the list i got whit all DB in my mysql server to make a individuel backup of all databases.
    plz help =)

    /regards

    I made this one, works greate but i now need to backup induvidual DB so i dont need to restore all DB if one failed.

    ##### DB Backup #####
    /usr/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u root -pDBpasswd -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --all --quick --lock-tab
    les --all-databases > /root/database/sqldump-`date +%Y%m%d`.sql

    #### FTP to Backup Server ####
    cd /root/database
    HOST='192.168.250.10'
    USER='ftpuser'
    PASSWD='passwd'
    ftp -n -v $HOST <<END
    ascii
    user $USER $PASSWD
    prompt
    mput *.sql
    bye
    END


    It´s prety clear what this script does =)
