Dumping To a Remote Host
Dump directly into a remote database
mysqldump -ulocaluser -plocalpassword localdbname | ssh remoteuser@remotehost.com mysql -uremoteuser -premotepassword remotedbname
Dump to a file on a remote server
ysqldump -ulocaluser -plocalpassword localdbname | ssh remoteuser@remotehost.com 'cat > /media/vte/backup_from_vte/databases/moodleVteDump.sql'
Making the remote dump faster and less resource intensive
When running a mysql dump to a remote host directly over ssh the host database will be locked until the sync has finished. (Can be up to 5-10 minutes for lager databases)
The above problem can be easily circumvented by adding --quick and --single-transaction to the mysqldump command.
Tells mysql to only retrieve one row at a time.
--quick
Starts the transaction without locking the entire DB.
--single-transaction
Example dump:
mysqldump --verbose --quick --single-transaction -u<localDbUser> -p<localDbPassord> <localDbName> | ssh user@remote.host mysql -u<remoteDbUser> -p'<remoteDbPassword>' <remoteDbName>
