Export A MySQL Database

1. Using SSH, execute the following command:

2. mysqldump -u username -p database_name > dbname.sql

3. You will be prompted for a password, type in the password for the username and press Enter. Replace username, password and database_name with your MySQL username, password and database name.


File dbname.sql now holds a backup of your database and is ready for download to your computer.
