MySQL Database backup automatically on a windows server

Best way to do this would be

mysqldump.exe --user=YourUserName --password=YourPassword --host=localhost --port=3306 --result-file="Path\dump.sql" --databases "DatabaseName1" "Database2"mysqldump.exe --user=root --password=root  --host=localhost --port=3306 --result-file="c:\www\db\backup.%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%.sql" --default-character-set=utf8 --single-transaction=TRUE --databases "dbtest1" "dbtest2"

The pattern backup.%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%.sql will create a unique name (backup20131010.sql) each time it will run

Now you just need to call this command in your task scheduler. That's it. :)

I would use Windows Task Scehduler/cron (depending on your system) and mysqldump. Scroll down in the link, it includes some insights how to achieve what you want.

You can add one of these commands to Windows task scheduler:

mysqldump –-user [username] –-password=[password] [database name] > [dump file]

or in a compact way:

mysqldump –u[username] –p[password] [database name] > [dump file]

or:

mysqldump -u[user] -p[password] --result-file="c:\<path>\backup.%DATE:~0,3%.sql" [database]
