Hello,

I have a bit of a coding problem. We're working on a dev server and the backup method we use at this stage is a normal export of the schema on which the developments are made. After every major dev, a dump is made. Now management wants to automate the export and schedule it every 9PM. Haven't done that that way before. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

export is NOT a database backup strategy.

You can use Windows scheduler to do this.

Thank you for correcting me. Can we call it a backup method?

Thanks for the tip.But how do we do that on LINUX?

1/ You can call it a logical backup or a data backup keeping in mind that you can only restore what you saved, that is some data at the backup date.

2/ Why do you want to know how to do it on Linux when you said you are working on Windows?

Michel

1/ Go for "data backup" then.

2/ You know what they say: "Prevention is better than cure".We never know...I might need to do it someday on Linux. In addition, I have a db on my laptop that runs on Linux(RHEL4), and every new thing I do on Windows, I try and repeat it on Linux.I can put automatic import in practice the same way, so when the time comes, I am ready. Besides, That'd be a plus in my knowledge.

So do you know how to do it in Linux?

Use "cron", native Unix/Libnux scheduler.
