How To Automatically Run MySQL Dump in Windows and Linux to Backup MySQL Database
Windows
- Create a batch file “sweetcoc_ams_backup.bat” for mysqldump. Copy below code into the batch file:-
@echo off REM set mysqldump path SET mysqldump_path="C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.26\bin\mysqldump.exe" REM credentials to connect to MySQL server SET mysql_user=root SET mysql_password= REM backup storage location SET backup_folder="C:\wamp64\www\database_backups" REM backup file name SET backup_name=%backup_folder%\sweetcoc_ams_%DATE:~-4%-%DATE:~7,2%-%DATE:~4,2%.sql REM create backup "C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.26\bin\mysqldump.exe" -u %mysql_user% sweetcoc_ams > %backup_name% - Create a new Task Scheduler that executes the batch file.




Linux
- Create a new PHP file and copy below code into it.
<?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); $database = '*****'; $user = '*****'; $pass = '*****'; $host = '*****'; //$dir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/dump.sql'; $dir = dirname(__FILE__); echo "Backing up database to {$dir}."; echo "\n"; exec("mysqldump --user={$user} --password={$pass} --host={$host} --no-tablespaces {$database} | zip > \${HOME}/database_backup/{$database}_`date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M'`.sql.zip", $output); echo "\n"; echo "Backup completed."; ?> - Create a new Cron Job and point to the path where the PHP file is saved.
/usr/local/bin/php
/home4/sweetcoc/database_backup/mysqldump.php - The Cron Job will save the database as below:-

PROBLEM
| SOLUTION | SOLVED? |
| According to PHPRunner documentation, to use PHPRunner with Access database, we need to use 32-bit version (source: https://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/connecting_to_ms_access_db.htm) |
Not tested |
| Enable “php_com_dotnet.dll” extension in “php.ini” file (source: https://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/connecting_to_ms_access_db.htm)
|
NO |
| Use ODBC in PHPRunner
refer to |
NO. ODBC does not work.
“ADODB.Connection” problem has disappeared but new error thrown Steps to use ODBC in PHPRunner:
It seems like PHPRunner still use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB driver to connect to Access database which only work with 32-bit application as suggested by PHPRunner The problem with Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB driver also discussed by others
I’ve tried to create a new blank project using MS Access database in PHPRunner and also face the same problem:
The solutions to use Microsoft Access database in PHPRunner are:
|
| Edit the “ConnectionManager.php” to force it to use “Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0” instead of “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0”
|
YES
Overwrite “..\output\connections\ConnectionManager.php” in line 146 from: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DSN=SMSEngineVBNET;UID=;PWD=;Driver=C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\MICROS~1\\OFFICE15\\ACEODBC.DLL;DBQ=C:\\Users\\mobitek1\\Desktop\\SMS360 v. 1.1\\SMSEngineVBNET.mdb;DriverId=25;FIL=\”MS Access;\”;SafeTransactions=0″ to Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\\Users\\mobitek1\\Desktop\\Project1\\SMSEngineVBNET.mdb;Persist Security Info=False; |
