There are several strategies for backup, snapshot, dump, dump binlog, it all depends on your need and the size of your database. I indicate this tool for databases that have 10G or more than that, the probability that you have problems to restore a backup and long delay, make it unfeasible. I’ll explain a little about the tool provides by MySQL, which is the mysqldump.

Making backup all databases:
mysqldump --all-databases > dump.sql

Making backup only one database:
mysqldump --databases db1 > dump.sql

Making backup many databases:
mysqldump --databases db1 db2 db... > dump.sql

Making backup with triggers:
mysqldump --triggers --all-databases > dump.sql

Making backup with procedures and functions:
mysqldump --routines --all-databases > dump.sql

Now let’s compress our dump in real time with gzip:
mysqldump --all-databases | gzip > dump.sql.gz

We can still reach a higher compression ratio using the bzip2:
mysqldump --all-databases | bzip2 > dump.sql.bz2

And how do I restore the dump?

Normal:
mysql < dump.sql

gzip:
gunzip < dump.sql.gz | mysql

bzip2:
bunzip2 < dump.sql.bz2 | mysql

More details about mysqldump can be found on MySQL Online Documentation.

Thats all folks

This step will work on especially on CentOS, RedHat, and Fedora. Make sure you didn’t put any password for your GRUB during installation or this tutorial won’t be any help.
