MySQL Backup Watcher software allows users to create database backups of MySQL server easily. Users can save the backups on their local computer or in other locations.
One of the key features of this program is its built-in and customizable scheduler. You can now schedule daily, weekly, monthly, or one-time backups of specified databases. This is perfect for users who want to automate backup processes and save time.
Upon installation, the MySQL Backup Watcher places an icon in your System tray. Interestingly, it can remove itself from the Windows taskbar during minimization. As a result, it's easy to use this software as an agent on a server that constantly starts, carrying out backup at certain times or with established frequency.
Adjustments to the program are automatically saved into an INI-file and are restored at the next launch. It is recommended that after setting up the scheduler, you should launch the utility with the MySQL server, or when starting Windows by placing the icon of the program in the Autostart folder.
The program also provides users with the opportunity to archive backup files after carrying out backups. With the help of any external archive program like Rar, Zip, Arj, among others, you can free up space on your hard disk occupied by these files.
Once the backup process is complete, a SQL-script containing all necessary files for a full database restore to the previous state is generated. This software is an excellent tool for every system administrator and is highly recommended.
