In this short article we would like to show how to make MySQL database baskup using Linux Terminal (command line).

Quick solution:

cat /path/to/backup.sql | mysql -u db_username -pdb_password db_name

or:

cat /path/to/backup.sql | mysql -u db_username -pdb_password -h db_hostname db_name

Notes:

do not use space beetween -p and db_password,
-h db_hostname is optional (lack means localhost connection).

Practical examples

Example 1:

cat ./2020.09.12_17.21_gallery.sql | mysql -u root -pSecretPassword -h 127.0.0.1 gallery

Example 2:

cat '/path/to/backup/db/2020.09.12_17.21_gallery.sql' | mysql -u 'root' -p'SecretPa$$word' -h '127.0.0.1' 'gallery'

Secure command

Calling command with password as parameter is not save. It makes the password visible on processes list and stays in command line history.

So, it is good to use --password option and type password when mysql command requests it, by:

cat /path/to/backup.sql | mysql -u db_username --password db_name
