MySQLDumper - Readme
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
MySQLDumper is a PHP and Perl based tool for backing up MySQL databases.
|
|
You can easily dump your data into a backup file and - if needed - restore it.
|
|
It is especially suited for shared hosting webspaces, where you don't have
|
|
shell access.

Requirements:
|

MySQL 4.1 or later
|
|
a web-browser
|
|
optional Perl for cronscript
|
|
|
|
Summary:
|
|
The problem:
|
|
A PHP script has a maximum execution time that is usually set to 30 seconds on
|
|
most server installations. A script running longer than this limit will simply
|
|
stop working. This behavior makes backing up large databases impossible. Maybe
|
|
you already had this specific problem when using other tools.
|
|
|
|
MySQLDumper uses a proprietary technique to avoid this problem. It only reads
|
|
and saves a certain amount of data, then calls itself recursively via JavaScript
|
|
and remembers how far in the backup process it was. The script then resumes
|
|
backing up from that point.
|
|
|
|
The restore process is similar. Unlike other tools, splitting and splicing of
|
|
large backup files is no longer necessary.
|
|
|
|
MySQLDumper can write the data directly into a compressed .gz file. The restore
|
|
script is able to read this file directly without unpacking it. You can also
|
|
use the script without compression, but using Gzip saves a lot of bandwidth.
|
|
You can even configure the script to automatically send the backup file to an
|
|
FTP account or your email adress.
