Hi all.
I usally make backups of databases mysql.
I make buckups of all datbase for example:
mysqldump -u user -ppassword name_db > backups.sql
also I make backups just its schema for example
mysqldump -u user -ppassword name_db --no-data > backups.sql
but now I need a backups incrementals, because the size of DB is very big (500 mb)
How to make this?
I've seen somewhere script that does the following. It dumps all databases, then commits them into some version control system. CVS and subversion come to my mind. As the last do diff of text files 9and this way keep changes from version to version), and database dump is ASCII text, this will fulfill pretty well what you need. I must confess, I never came to the point of setting it that way myself: with database sizes we have, and the space we can devote we can handle a week worth of daily full dumps, and a couple of Months of backups of these... but one day I'll do it this way. The following may not be what I originally saw, but seems to be doing exactly this:
