How to backup mysql database through php?

Recommended Posts

I've read it's bad to use php and other web applications to backup mysql databases (for big sites).

 

If it timeouts the file becomes corrupt. Backing up via SSH seems more solid.

 

Backup via SSH:

 

mysqldump --opt -u user -p dbname > {path}/backup.sql

 

Restore via SSH:

 

mysql -u user -p dbname < {path}/backup.sql
