MySQL Backup Watcher is a software that creates backups of MySQL servers. It allows users to archive locally or remotely.
One of the key features of the program is its built-in scheduler, which can be easily customized to automatically carry out backups on a daily, weekly, monthly, or one-time basis at a pre-established time. This makes it easy for users to set up and manage regular backups without needing to manually intervene.
Once installed, MySQL Backup Watcher places an icon in the system tray and is designed to disappear from the taskbar when minimized, making it a convenient tool for servers where the program needs to be running constantly. All adjustments made to the program are saved automatically to an INI-file and are restored upon restarting the program. Users can adjust the scheduler beforehand and launch the program together with MySQL server or when launching Windows by placing the program's icon into the Autostart folder.
MySQL Backup Watcher also provides the option to archive backup files, reducing the amount of space they occupy on a hard disk. Users can select any external archive program available, such as Rar, Zip or Arj, to carry out the archiving process.
The program generates an SQL-script that contains all of the necessary data to restore databases to the state they were in at the moment of backup, making it easy to recover lost data in case of any issues. Overall, MySQL Backup Watcher is a reliable program that provides a wide range of backup options and is suitable for use in both local and remote settings.
