• backing up a single database
• backing up specified tables within a single database

Server servers are stopped.
Backing up all databases
To back up all the databases, including the database tables and records for each database, perform the following steps:
1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Type the following commands:
cd mySQLinstallDir\bin
.\mysqldump --defaults-file=mySQLinstallDir\my.cnf --quote-names
--add-drop-table --quick --extended-insert --all-databases
--result-file=\path\fileName
where
- mySQLinstallDir is the location of the MySQL for HP Output Management installation.
- path is the location where you want to save a backup of the databases.
- fileName is a name for the file that will save a copy of the databases and their contents.
