如何才能实现MySQL的自动备份

自动备份是非常关键的，特别是对于DBA来说。这里主要用来说明这个问题，希望对各位有所帮助。可以将这个脚本放进crontab，每天凌晨执行一次，自动备份。

这个脚本每天最多只执行一次，而且只保留最近五天的备份在器上。

代码:

#!/bin/bash
#This is a ShellScript For Auto DB Backup

#Setting
#设置库名，库登录名，密码，备份路径，路径，文件位置，以及备份方式
#默认情况下备份方式是tar，还可以是mysqldump,mysqldotcopy
#默认情况下，用root(空)登录mysql数据库，备份至/root/dbxxxxx.tgz
DBName=mysql
DBUser=root
DBPasswd=
BackupPath=/root/
LogFile=/root/db.log
DBPath=/var/lib/mysql/
#BackupMethod=mysqldump
#BackupMethod=mysqlhotcopy
#BackupMethod=tar
#Setting End

NewFile="$BackupPath"db$(date +%y%m%d).tgz
DumpFile="$BackupPath"db$(date +%y%m%d)
OldFile="$BackupPath"db$(date +%y%m%d --date=@#5 days ago@#).tgz
