The MySQL Backup option connects to the server and backs up database contents into a dump file. The resulting backup file contains all SQL queries required to reproduce the original database including all tables, tablespaces, stored procedures, functions, and other data. Aug 02, 2011  A lot of people seem to have a problem doing backup and restoration of a MySQL database easily and quickly. However, I am going to show you how to do just that using MySQL’s built in mysqldump.exe utility through a Windows MS-DOS prompt.

Customers of MySQL Enterprise Edition can use the MySQL Enterprise Backup product for backups. For an overview of the MySQL Enterprise Backup product, see Section 29.2, “MySQL Enterprise Backup Overview”.

I would use Windows Task Scehduler/cron (depending on your system) and mysqldump. Scroll down in the link, it includes some insights how to achieve what you want.

Best way to do this would be

The pattern backup.%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%.sql will create a unique name (backup20131010.sql) each time it will run

Now you just need to call this command in your task scheduler. That's it. :)

You can add one of these commands to Windows task scheduler:

or in a compact way:

or:

databaseW.2016,06,29-22,31,48-15.sql

To create file whose name is based on the date and time, use %date% and %time%.Note that the 2 variables are based on locale and cmd shell version

• open the cmd windows
• input echo %time% and echo %date%mine is 22:11:16.80,06/29/2016 Wed
• substr the variable through %variable:~startpos,length%I want the time delimited by comma, so the cmd goesecho %time:~0,2%,%time:~3,2%,%time:~6,2%,%time:~9,2%
• to get a filename like databaseW.2016,06,29-22,31,48-15.sqluse set filename='databaseW.%date:~6,4%,%date:~0,2%,%date:~3,2%-%time:~0,2%,%time:~3,2%,%time:~6,2%-%time:~9,2%.sql'
• check the date and time in advance
• use the --result-file option instead of >; According to the Mysql Manuel, the charset of file saved using '>' is UTF-16, while the --result-file follows the --default-character-set
• save to file BackpDay-databaseW.cmd
• add it to a new task Action and set a trigger (Windows Task Scheduler)

Mysql Backup Windows Tool

I did the work, similar to what other people explained through... but with little difference and extra work:

1) I made a batch file
2) Ran that batch file through windows scheduler
3) Made appropriate schedule for that task
4) Inside the batch file these steps are executed:

• 4-1) Prepared a file name based on current date
• 4-2) Got a backup by mysqldump.exe in the corresponding directory & file name
• 4-3) Made a compress file through 7-Zip app(install it) & then delete the uncompressed backup
• 4-4) Put a copy on our network File-Server
