How to get copy of all mysql databases into individual tar.gz files?
| Posted by mrzippy, 03-26-2009, 06:03 PM | | Hello,
I need some help.. I'm trying to use the "mysqldump" command to get a copy of all databases on the server...
... but I need each database to go into a "databaseXYZ.tar.gz" file.
Does anyone know how to do this? So far, I can only get all the databases into a single file. But I need each database to have its own file.
Thanks!

#!/bin/bash
for FF in `find /var/lib/mysql/ -type d -printf "%f\n"`
do
mysqldump $FF | gzip > $FF.sql.gz
done

nice one-liner, and will handle unexpected characters/etc. in the dump, as well as getting the db names from mysql rather than the fs, which is probably a bit safer.
Just my 2c.
