Back Up MySQL Database to Avoid Data-Loss Nightmares
Having a website driven by MySQL database without making
regular backups is courting disaster. Over the course
of time the database grows larger, accumulates more
records. Now just try and imagine typing in your website
address in the browser only to find that it is gone
forever or needs fixing due to errors. How would that
make you feel? If you find yourself feeling sick just
thinking about it, then why set yourself up for a fall
when you can so easily make a backup of the database
and sleep well at night?
Auto Backup for MySQL Professional Edition 2.1
from SwordSky Software promises to save database
admins and web masters from data-loss nightmares once
and for all. As the name implies, it makes backups of
the MySQL database, be it local or remote, automatically.
The time to back up and restore can be scheduled by
the user through a wizard-driven interface, which makes
backing up and restoring pretty straight forward and
simple.
Auto Backup for MySQL Pro provides a pain-free
way to back up MySQL databases, tables and views to
SQL, PHP files, or to the other server or database.
All newly-created databases and tables on the MySQL
server can be backed up automatically, when you are
not around. To do so, you should set the time interval
for automatic backups in the scheduler. Another nice
touch in Auto Backup for MySQL Pro is that it
works as a stand-alone utility and doesn't require any
additional software. Besides, it's not necessary to
have MySQL installed on the local computer to run backups
and restores. The program can even be run as a Windows
Service so that you won't need to log in Windows for
backing up and restoring.
Let's say, for example, you have an e-commerce website
with tens of thousands orders, customer accounts with
years of financial information. And one morning you
wake up only to find that your MySQL server has died.
That's not a problem if you made a backup, all you need
to do is click RESTORE on a fresh server and your site
will be up and running again in minutes! The best in
using Auto Backup for MySQL Pro is that you don't
have to allocate a huge chunk of your IT budget to co-location
servers or expensive hot-backup tools. You can also
use the program to copy the databases from one hosting
to another.
The program can compress backups to GZIP files and then
restore the database from GZIP files as well, saving
more disk space. The size of the database is no limit
because the program can back up databases exceeding
4 GB. To speed up a backup task, Auto Backup for
MySQL Pro uses buffer mode. Each file may contain
all databases or a selected database or a selected table.
When a new backup is made, the older backup is automatically
overwritten based on dates or the number of backups.
Currently Auto Backup for MySQL Pro supports
all MySQL character sets, including UTF8, UCS2, LATIN1
and more, supports all MySQL storage engines and table
types, including InnoDB, MyISAM, BDB and more, and supports
all MySQL field types, including BLOB, VARCHAR, DECIMAL
and more.
"Auto Backup for MySQL Professional Edition
is designed to copy everything from your MySQL databases
and ensure the copy is identical to the original,"
says William Lee, SwordSky's CEO. "It
makes backups without the user needing to know nothing
more than how to run the program."
Sooner or later, your MySQL database will experience
problems and heaven help you if you didn't make a backup.
It's a hard lesson to learn. But with Auto Backup
for MySQL Pro in place, you can now make MySQL backups
easily and quickly. This is one utility application
that every database admin should have in their possession.
Don't forget to back up your database!
