About:
AutoMySQLBackup is a shell script that automates daily, weekly, and monthly MySQL database backups. It simplifies the process of creating rotating backups with compression and email notifications. This tool is essential for ensuring data safety without manual intervention.
Key Features:
  • Automated daily, weekly, and monthly backups
  • Support for incremental backups and compression
  • Email notifications upon backup completion
  • Simple configuration via a single config file
Use Cases:
  • Routine database backups for small to medium-sized applications
  • Disaster recovery preparation for self-hosted MySQL/MariaDB servers
  • Compliance with data retention policies
Alternatives:
  • Percona XtraBackup – Offers hot, non-blocking backups for large-scale databases but is more complex to configure.
  • mysqldump – A native MySQL utility for logical backups; requires custom scripting for automation and rotation.
