MySQL Server Data Backups on CentOS

This section provides a tutorial example on how to create backups of MySQL databases and load it back to another MySQL server for MySQL 8.0 server on CentOS 8 systems.

After using MySQL database server to store your own data, you need to perform data backups periodically and store them on another computer. This can be dump by using the "mysqldump" command as shown in this tutorial:

1. Create a backup of all databases on MySQL server as SQL statements:

herong$ mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > mysql-bck-2020-03-28.sql

2. Zip the backup file:

herong$ zip mysql-bck-2020-03-28.zip mysql-bck-2020-03-28.sql
  adding: mysql-bck-2020-03-28.sql (deflated 89%)

3. Send it to another computer:

herong$ scp mysql-bck-2020-03-28.zip herong@storage:backup

4. Use the "mysql" command to load the backup file in another MySQL server, if you needed:

herong$ mysql -u root -p < mysql-bck-2020-03-28.sql
