DumpSync Command: Export

To create a database dump, you can use the following command:

dumpsync export -d my_database -i 3600 -f /path/to/

Command Breakdown

  • dumpsync: This is the main command to invoke the DumpSync tool.

  • export: This subcommand initiates the export process to create a dump of the specified database.

Options

  • -d my_database: Specifies the name of the database you want to export. Replace my_database with the actual name of your database.

  • -i 3600: Sets the interval (in seconds) for the dump process. In this example, the interval is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour). You can adjust this value based on your requirements.

  • -f /path/to/: Indicates the file path where the dump will be saved. Replace /path/to/ with the desired directory path on your system.

Example

To create a dump of a database named example_db with an interval of 2 hours and save it to the /backups/ directory, you would run:

dumpsync export -d example_db -i 7200 -f /backups/

Notes

  • Ensure that the specified path for the dump exists and that you have the necessary permissions to write to that directory.
  • Adjust the interval according to your backup strategy to ensure that you have up-to-date dumps without overwhelming your database resources.
