LKBEN11732: How can I backup and restore a MySql database?
Symptom
You need to backup your DB.
Cause
To be able to restore, you need to backup first.
Solution
To backup your database, you need to have the right credentials. When these are present, you can backup with the following command:
mysqldump -u root -p root_password > C:\backup_file_name.sql
To restore from the same file you can use:
mysql -u root -p root_password < C:\backup_file_name.sql
This can be used for MariaDB and for MySql.
Hope it helps.
