  • Good and useful software
  • I've been thinking about using a more automated, turnkey solution for backing up my databases for disaster recovery, and this script does so much out of the box, with minimal configuration and apparently zero hassle.
  • Thank you for this awesome tool !
  • I use this all the time on my Mediatemple servers.
  • the program works perfectly, I like its scheduler
  • Awesome. I've implemented it on several environments and so far, it's been behaving pretty good.
  • excellent, very useful, many thanks
  • Really cool.
  • Very well done.
  • nice work mate!
  • Fast, Functional, Simple and Efficient.
  • Needs a bit of work for Win7
  • Simple and useful and a real timesaver. Should be part of the standard MySQL tools on all distros.
  • never noticed any problems
  • well, I liked it
  • Great Script used it for years. For those administrating cPanel servers, your autoscripts might be un-granting the lock tables for your user. I added this to the dbdump() function... mysql -u $U --password=$P -e "GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON *.* TO '$USERNAME'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$PASSWORD'" mysqladmin -u $U --password=$P FLUSH-PRIVILEGES Now the bad part about the above is that you have to declare U=root and P=rootpassword. But this worked great for me as the script is running in a protected area that only root can see.
  • pretty cool - simple and it just works
  • Great tool. Had to edit line # 1972 from echo `du -hsH "${CONFIG_backup_dir}"` to echo `du -hs --si "${CONFIG_backup_dir}"` as the -H option for du is being deprecated.
  • Wonderful project, many thanks for sharing
  • A wonderful script, been successfully using it for years!
  • Great shell script. I'd love to see integration with external services for even more secure backups for something like Amazon S3. I'd love to help how I can as well.
  • This is exactly what i was looking for, Thank You from Ukraine!
  • Just trying it out. I do not like the file naming process, would like to have an option for the file name date number thingy. Would like just a ZIP option, I will try out my potential mods and then post, if they work. Otherwise, it is a great program, thank you!!! Bob
  • I've been using it for years. Now I'm contributing to the project.
  • Works great - a lifesaver - version 3 rocks - though could do with a bit more documentation
