mythicwave Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm backing up a Linux server from Retrospect for Windows. Is there a special Linux script I can use that will automatically shut down mysql before the backup starts and start it again after the backup ends? What's the strategy for backing up Linux databases in general? Thanks in advance, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauricev Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You wouldn't use Retrospect to back up the actual MySQL data files. Instead, you would use a script that dumps the live database and then use Retrospect to back up the dump. A well-known script to make the dumps is MySQL Backup, which is located at http://worldcommunit...ysql_backup.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
