jeff5656 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Here's how I back up all databases and all tables. $creatBackup = "mysqldump -u ".$user." --password=".$password." --all-databases > ".$sqlFile; How would I run that and exclude certain tables in certain databases? lets say I want to exclude a table called test in database "testdb" and a table called "hello" from database "hellodb"?

requinix Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Try the --ignore-table option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff5656 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Would it be this? $creatBackup = "mysqldump -u ".$user." --password=".$password." --all-databases --ignore-table=database.table1 --ignore-table=database.table2 > ".$sqlFile; Just want to make sure i got the syntax down...not sure if I would keep the all database line in there...
