Can someone please tell me how to do a Simple Database Backup for MySQL Database on diff host (computer). I am trying to move my database from one host (server) to a new host (server)
If you just need to transfer a database between servers, using phpMyAdmin, you can use Export on the database on the source to generate a .SQL script, and then use Import on the target server to transfer it.
Alternatively, if the database is too big, you could use something like SQLDumper.

I have a database named db_x on server X (running WHM) and another database named db_y on server Y. I connected to server X via SSH made some changes to the phpmyadmin configurations to allow it to connect to db_y via phpmyadmin on server X via cPanel. Now, I want to move all the tables of the db_x on server_X to another database(db_y) which is on different server(yy.yy.yy.yy) by using phpMyAdmin from server_X.
Is there any way to do so? Please help me.
Edit: The table is over 3 GB, so export/import won't work.
due to the size of your database you will not be able to succeed with phpmyadmin.
Try use the SSH.
Upload the database to the new server "old_database.sql".
Considering that the database already existis on the new server, use the command below:
# mysql new_database < old_database.sql
This command will import your sql file into the new database.
If you don't have the old_database.sql file, you can also obtain it with command in old server
# mysqldump mydatabase > old_database.sql
This command will generate an SQL file from your database.
Ther will be an option export in db_x export it and in db_y click import
and chose downloaded file wich was exported and click run.
Is there a simpler approach to routinely keep a local MySQL database updated with data from a remote database? My setup needs me to run a local copy of the project in the office network to allow local email sending. But the emails link back to a live server. Also, the admin users need to access the project from the internet anywhere to compose the emails. Currently, my options are:
Connect local project to the remote database.
Export the remote database, clean the local database and then import the dump.
This is something I need to routinely do every week. I went with approach #1 but it takes a long time to pull data this way. So I am really wondering if I should do this in the long run?
On routine basis, just do the mysqldump export on remote server and then on local server do mysqldup import or mysql import.
mysqldump -u root-proot -h remote-server test > db%FileDate%.sql
And on local server, do the import
mysql -u root-proot -h local-server test < db%FileDate%.sql
You can use mysql incremental backup. Please refer below link.

Quick help here...
I have these 2 mysql instances... We are not going to pay for this service anymore; so they will be gone... How can I obtain a backup file that I can keep for the future?
I do not have much experience with mysql, and all threads talk about mysqldump, which I don't know if its valid for this case. I also see the option to take a snapshot but I want a file I can save (like a .bak).
See screenshot:
Thanks in advance!
You have several choices:
You can replicate your MySQL instances to MySQL servers running outside AWS. This is a bit of a pain, but will result in a running instance. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/MySQL.Procedural.Exporting.NonRDSRepl.html
You can use the commandline mysqldump --all-databases to generate a (probably very large) .sql file from each database server instance. Export and Import all MySQL databases at one time
You can use the commandline mysqldump to export a database at a time. This is what I would do.
You can use a gui MySQL client -- like HeidiSQL -- in place of the commandline to export your databases one at a time. This might be easier.
You don't need to, and should not, export the mysql, information_schema, or performance_schema databases; these contain system information and will already exist on another server.
In order to connect from outside AWS, you'll have to set the AWS protections appropriately. And you'll have to know the internet address, username, and password (and maybe port) of the MySQL server at AWS.
Then you can download HeidiSQL (if you're on windows) or some appropriate client software, connect to your database instance, and export your databases at your leisure.
Iam a newbie for DB. I have a running database on godaddy's mysql setup. Now i have a new server whose access is not with me. I have to make a file which can install and create new mysql on that server plus it can copy and store specific tables from my current server database too.
I have to give this file to the person who is having the access so that he can execute it and can have all the content. How can i make such a file?
You can use MySQL's mysqldump to take backup of your databases.
Alternatively, You can always backup your database using MySQL GUI tools like SQLyog.
I guess GoDaddy do not allows direct connection for mysqldump to work. In that case you can use SQLyog's HTTP tunneling capability.
Give the generated backup file (created through SQLyog or through mysqldump) to the person who has access and he will upload the file.
Here is the SQLyog's documentation for taking Backup. Select Databases and Tables that you want to backup through wizard.
Hope it helps....
I am hosting my website on a shared server, with a mysql database which I can access it using phpmyadmin only. Can we setup replication mechanism to replicate my DB to my local server periodically?
something like periodically it should dump the data from my live server to my local server or atleast create a dump file.
Thanks,
You can use this URL: http://username:password#website:2082/getsqlbackup/website…database.gz to get a gzipped copy of your databse. username and password are as they say, and 2082 is whatever port you use.
You can use wget in a batch file to get it automatically.
