MySQLDumper is a backup program for MySQL databases, written in PHP and Perl . This means that backup copies can be created and restored if necessary. MySQLDumper is a sensible alternative, especially for web space without shell access.
MySQLDumper is licensed under the GNU General Public License . MySQLDumper is available in 13 languages.
Functions
With MySQLDumper data records can be read out using a PHP script. Normally the PHP script would be aborted after 30 seconds ( timeout error). MySQLDumper avoids the problem by reading a certain number of data records from a table, aborting the process after 30 seconds and saving the point at which the data was read. The script then calls itself and continues the process at the point last read out. The same principle is used when restoring the data.
history
The idea for this project came from Daniel Schlichtholz. In 2004 he opened the MySQLDumper forum, whereupon hobby programmers wrote new scripts and expanded existing ones.
End of the project and release of the source code for optional further development
On January 31, 2016, the developer Daniel Schlichtholz announced in his MySQLDumper forum that he would withdraw from the project. The source code will henceforth be made available on Github , in the hope that someone will be found to further develop the project. He does not want to do that himself, because the adaptation of the dumper to PHP 7 and higher is too time-consuming.
The version available on Github has also been compatible with PHP 7 since 2017.
