Evren Yurtesen - MySQL Backup

MySQL Backup Download

Description:

Dumps all MySQL databases on separate sql files in separate folders arranged by date and compresses them. It is also able to remove the old backups after a period defined inside the script. Then one can backup the sql files using a backup program safely without being worried of database corruption.

This version introduces a feature which sends e-mail to a defined e-mail address in case of mysqldump errors as well as including the nature of the error. Also it is compatible with Linux and FreeBSD at the same time.

Changelog:

# v0.0.1 - Initial version
# v0.0.2 - Mail function, etc. added
# v0.0.3 - Can now figure if you use Linux or FreeBSD
# v0.0.4 - Added hostname to e-mails and singled out common variables
# v0.0.5 - Removed password usage from command line (security)
# v0.0.6 - Sometimes cron can set HOME environment variable wrong.
