Wordpress Backup using MYSQL commands

June 15th, 2008

Wordpress Backup-MYSQL commands

If you want backup the large database phyMyAdmin could not manage it properly, so  it is best you can backup your data by using straight MySQL commands. Check the following process to backup using MYSQL commands;

1. Change your directory to the directory you want to load things to:

user@linux:~> cd files/blog

2. Use mysqldump to dump all database tables. To dump only specific tables from the database, give their names at the place shown by (tablename tablename tablename), and omit the parentheses ( ) in any case. (For help, try: man mysqldump.):

user@linux:~/files/blog> mysqldump –add-drop-table -h mysqlhostserver
-u mysqlusername -p databasename (tablename tablename tablename) | bzip2
-c > blog.bak.sql.bz2

Enter password: (enter your mysql password)
user@linux~/files/blog>

Example:
mysqldump –add-drop-table -h db01.example.net -u dbocodex -p dbwp | bzip2 -c > blog.bak.sql.bz2

Enter password: my-password
user@linux~/files/blog>

The bzip2 -c after the | (pipe) means the backup is compressed on the fly, and the > blog.bak.sql.bz2 sends the bzip output to a file named blog.bak.sql.bz2. It perform in one line the same thing that these two commands do:

mysqldump –add-drop-table -h db01.example.net -u dbocodex -p dbwp > blog.bak.sql
bzip2 blog.bak.sql

You have done it!
