AutoMySQLBackup

AutoMySQLBackup with a basic configuration will create Daily, Weekly and Monthly backups of one or more of your MySQL databases from one or more of your MySQL servers.

Other Features include:
- Email notification of backups
- Backup Compression and Encryption
- Configurable backup rotation
- Incremental database backups

Time for a new maintainer.. I first created AutoMySQLBackup in 2002 and since then it's helped many thousands of admins keep their databases backed up.. I always had one basic requirement and that was that it should always be super simple to initially get working.. I would like to hand it over now to someone with the time and skill to keep it updated and take it further.. If you would like to take over the project please get in touch..

Love this free backup option and it works very well. Been using it for about 8 years without any issues. Don't use or even checkout this paid option listed below backupbird.com. Its not free and we Linux folks love free!! Its more like a spam review!

Great tool. But when you have multiple servers in different locations and also would like to backup your files, i prefer www.backupbird.com
