MySQL Enterprise Backup User's Guide (Version 4.0.3)

4.2.1 Backing Up an Entire MySQL Instance

In the following example, we back up an entire MySQL instance to a single file using the backup-to-image command, which appears at the end of the sample command. We specify some of the connection information for the database using the --user and --host options (and, with the --password option, tell the MySQL server to prompt for a user password). The location and filename for the single-file backup is specified using the --backup-image option, and the location for an empty folder to store temporary files is supplied with the --backup-dir option.

The output echoes all the parameters used by the backup operation, including several that are retrieved automatically using the database connection. The unique ID for this backup job is recorded in special tables that mysqlbackup creates inside the MySQL instance, allowing you to monitor long-running backups and view information on previous backups. The final output section repeats the location of the backup data and provides the LSN values that you might use when you perform an incremental backup next time over the full backup that has just been made. 

$ ./mysqlbackup --user=root --password --host=127.0.0.1 --backup-image=/home/admin/backups/my.mbi \
    --backup-dir=/home/admin/backup-tmp backup-to-image
