Grunt plugin for dumping and archiving MySQL databases. Supports exporting and archiving multiple databases in a single operation. Runs asynchronously and extremely fast. Outputs export and compression information as each operation completes. Tested on moderate to large size databases without any problems.
This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.1
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-mysqldump --save-devOnce the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mysqldump');In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named mysqldump to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
db: grunt.file.readJSON('config/database.json'),
mysqldump: {
dist: {
user: '<%= db.local.user %>',
pass: '<%= db.local.pass %>',
host: '<%= db.local.host %>',
port: '<%= db.local.port %>',
dest: 'backup/',
options: {
compress: 'gzip'
},
databases: [
'my_forum',
'my_blog',
'employees',
'sakila'
],
},
},To dump all available databases simply use an asterisk aka wildcard. When using the wildcard flag you have the option to ignore specific databases by creating an ignore array.
db: grunt.file.readJSON('config/database.json'),
mysqldump: {
dist: {
user: '<%= db.local.user %>',
pass: '<%= db.local.pass %>',
host: '<%= db.local.host %>',
port: '<%= db.local.port %>',
dest: 'backup/',
options: {
compress: true,
algorithm: 'zip',
level: 5,
both: true
},
databases: [
'*'
],
ignore: [
'information_schema',
'performance_schema',
'phpmyadmin',
'mysql',
'sys'
],
},
},The database user.
The user's password.
The host of the database.
The port where the database is running, mostly 3306.
The destination folder to write the dump to.
Type: String
Default: both
Required: false
The dump type. Currently supports both, data and schema.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Required: false
Set to false for no compression. Will only perform a mysqldump of the target database files.
Type: String
Default: zip
Required: false
Currently supports gzip, deflate, deflateRaw, tar, tgz and zip.
Type: Integer
Default: 1
Required: false
Sets the level of archive compression.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Required: false
You have the option of saving both the sql dump file and the compressed file. Only relevant when archiving.
Type: Array
An array of database names to ignore when exporting. Valid when using a wildcard.
To run all tasks type grunt mysqldump
To target specific tasks register them at the bottom of the data object.
grunt.registerTask('backup', ['mysqldump:stuff']);
Specify the verbose mode parameter to log extra debugging information.
