Backup Yor MySQL Database
Tuesday April 4, 2006
It is important to backup your MySQL database regularly incase any problems should occour. It is also recommended that you backup before any major changes, incase you need to revert back to the old version of the database. You can backup your MySQL database from a command prompt using the line: mysqldump -u user_name -p your_password database_name > File_name.sql
This is good advice. I thought the MySQL automatically backed itself up and neglected to make backups and then had a huge mess on my hands.
