auto-mysql-backup

Using http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ with a wrapper that I use. The main benefit is being able to rsync the backups to another server.

Usage

Clone with git clone https://github.com/sund/auto-mysql-backup.git in /usr/local/sbin.

Use runmysqlbackup.sh as a wrapper to run the script.

edit the automysqlbackup config file

cp automysqlbackup-sample.conf automysqlbackup.conf and edit as needed.

edit the runmysqlbackup.conf file

cp runmysqlbackup-sample.conf runmysqlbackup.conf and enter your server info to rsync to.

Crontab entry

5 3 * * * /usr/local/sbin/auto-mysql-backup/runmysqlbackup.sh

et cetera

the folder _sf_distro has some extra files from the SourceForge download to keep things neat.

This uses version v3.0_rc6 of automysqlbackup
