Here's how I back up MySQL: BACKDIR=/FOO/backups DATE=`date '+%y%m%d'` TARBALL=backup_mysql_${HOSTNAME}_${DATE}.tgz BACKUP_DAYS=14 cd ${BACKDIR} DATABASES=`echo "show databases" | mysql -uroot -pFOO -qN` for DB in ${DATABASES} ; do mysqldump -uroot -pFOO --add-drop-table --databases ${DB} > mysql_${DB}.sql ; done # Tar/gzip the individual files into one file tar czf ${TARBALL} *.sql chmod 700 ${TARBALL} rm *.sql # Remove old backups if [[ -f ${TARBALL} ]] ; then find . -name "backup_mysql_${HOSTNAME}_"'*.tgz' -mtime +${BACKUP_DAYS} | xargs -r rm fi
