Features:

MySQLDumper is a backupscript for MySQL-Databases, written in PHP and Perl.

MySQLDumper uses a proprietary technique to avoid execution interruption. It only reads and saves a certain amount of commands and then calls itself via JavaScript and memorizes how far in the process it was and resumes its action from its last standby.

MySQLDumper restores a backup file by using the same process. Unlike other tools splitting and splicing of large files is no longer necessary.

MySQLDumper offers to write data directly into a compressed gz-File.

The Restore-Script is able to read this file directly without unpacking it. Of course you can use it without compression, however using Gzip saves a sizeable amount of bandwidth.

Some more features:

• MySQLDumper can read Dumpfiles from other Scripts via the integrated parser (for example from phpMyAdmin)
• Security: MySQLDumper can generate a .htaccess-file to protect itself and all of your backup-files
• MySQLDumper can do Multipart-Backups. That means: MySQLDumper can automatically split the dumpfile if it gets bigger than your chosen size. When you want to restore a backup and choose the wrong part - it doesn' matter: MySQLDumper will notice that and will get the correct startfile automatically.
• automatic Errormodul
• MiniSql: You have access to your MySQL-Tables. You can delete tables, edit or insert data. You can run/ save any SQL-Statement.
• Database-Overview: look at running processes or even stop them
• very good file-overview: backups of the same database are shown as one entry. Click it to see all of the files.
• automatic file-deletion: set your own rules to delete old backups. Specify the age or the number of files when it will be deletetd automatically to save server webspace.
• Perl Cronscript done: all features of the PHP-Script are now integrated in the Perlscript that can be started via a Cronjob
• Configuration can be set seperatly for each Script (PHP and Perl)
• before you start a backup all your parameters are shown again, so you definitely know what you are doing :-)
• Send Emails with or without your dumpfile attached / you can set the maximum size of the attachement. If it grows bigger it won't be attached.
• Send dumpfiles via FTP to another Server. This is also working using the multipart feature.
• Faster backups und restore (compared to older versions of MySQLDumper)

Moved to correct forum

I would prefer this over BigDumb, this one looks a lot easier to use. I will be giving this a shot here in about couple of hours. I am moving from a shared host I have been with for 3 years to a VPS. So I need all the help I can get without the extras (extras = $$$$).

[JJMac]

We will be here for you Ryahn. Just give us a howler!

[Ryahn]

Well, I gave it a run. Had a few issues with it since I was new to it, but this system is about equal to or better than BigDump. It all depends on your experience and preference. For me, I like both but I would prefer MSD.
