| + | * In the command line or in putty navigate to the home/scotty level of a database. (In this instance I am on Errigal QA - qadb2.err). | ||
| + | * It is important to back up tables on the slave system as opposed to the master to prevent any load/ | ||
| + | * cd into the temp directory | ||
| + | * Type ls to show the files in this directory: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use one of the following commands: | ||
| + | - mysqldump --single-transaction -u root -p databaseName tableName > appropriatelyNamedFileWithDate.sql | ||
| + | - mysqldump --single-transaction -u root -p snmp_manager network_element > networkElementBackup0303.sql | ||
| + | - mysqldump -uroot -p ticketer | gzip -v > ticketer.dump.gz | ||
| + | * You will be prompted to enter the password here this will confirm the backup | ||
| + | * If you type ls once again you will see your backup in this directory: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | * SUPER IMPORTANT! - To ensure the backup process worked correctly vi/ nano into the file | ||
| + | - vi nameOfFile | ||
| + | * If done correctly you will see some mysql in this file: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Now you are good to go! | ||
| + | * Keep an eye on these backups that you take, when these backups become outdated please make sure to remove them from the system, if you are unsure check with someone. | ||
