…Backup VPS
Here are simple steps to backup your VPS.
Backup MySQL database
Create a directory to store the backup files. Then run mysqldump command to backup your database.
mysqldump -u your_mysql_user -pyour_mysql_password your_database_name > /path/to/dump_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d\%H\%M\%S).sql
Or you run it as supersuer and backup all databases in once.
sudo mysqldump --all-databases > /path/to/dump_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d\%H\%M\%S).sql
To automate this, schedule a cron job that will run this command on a daily basis.
crontab -e
Insert the following line to execute the mysqldump command every day at midnight.
