MySQLDumper

MySQLDumper is a PHP and Perl based tool for backing up MySQL-databases. You can easily dump your data into a backup file and - if needed - restore it. It is especially suited for shared hosting webspaces, where you don't have shell access.
MySQLDumper is released under the GNU General Public License. MySQLDumper is available in 13 languages.
Features
With MySQLDumper it is possible to read backup files using PHP. Normally the PHP-script would be aborted after 30 seconds (Timeout-Error).
MySQLDumper avoids this problem. It only reads and saves a certain amount of data, then calls itself recursively via JavaScript and remembers how far in the backup process it was. The script then resumes backing up from that point. The restore process is similar.
Additionally MySQLDumper can automatically split the backup into several files and / or send the created backups to an e-mail address or transfer it to other servers using ftp.
Through a Perl script it is possible to automize the backup process using a Cronjob.
History
The first version was released in 2003 in some German forums. After getting great response of the public Daniel Schlichtholz created a support forum for MySQLDumper in april 2004. Soon more wanted features were added and developing continued.
In 2009 the project began to present its activities at SourceForge Project page to reach more users and an English project page was released.
