Automate MySQL Backups on Linux and Windows with Python and Batch Scripts
Learn how to automate MySQL database backups on both Linux and Windows by using a Python script that leverages mysqldump on Linux and a batch file for Windows, including directory management, retention policies, and execution commands to keep your data safely archived.
Linux MySQL Backup with Python
Use a Python script; requires Python 3 and mysqldump.
#! /usr/bin/python36
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import re
import datetime
import subprocess
## 需要备份数据库的登录信息
mysql_host = {
'test': '10.10.3.207'
}
db_user = 'root'
db_passwd = 'PASSWD'
db_port = '3306'
## 备份存放的目录地址,没有回自动生成
back_dir = '/backups/mysql'
# 备份文件保存时间,单位:天,超过就删除
backup_keep_time = 30
# 此列表中的数据库将不会备份,下面是默认的基础数据库。
ignore_database = ['Database','information_schema','mysql','sys','performance_schema']
today = datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M')
for env in mysql_host:
cmd = '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -h {} -u{} -p{} -P{} -e "show databases"'.format(mysql_host.get(env),db_user,db_passwd,db_port)
result = subprocess.check_output(cmd,shell=True,universal_newlines=True).split('
')
databases = [i for i in result if i and i not in ignore_database]
env_backup_dir = os.path.join(back_dir,env,today)
os.system('mkdir -p {}'.format(env_backup_dir))
for database in databases:
back_path = os.path.join(env_backup_dir,'%s_%s.sql.gz' %(database,today))
command = '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h {} -u{} -p{} -P{} {} --force |gzip > {}'.format(
mysql_host.get(env),db_user,db_passwd,db_port,database,back_path
)
os.system(command)
tmp = os.path.join(back_dir,env)
for dirname in os.listdir(tmp):
time1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(dirname,'%Y%m%d%H%M')
time_dif = datetime.datetime.today()-time1
times = time_dif.days
if times >= backup_keep_time:
for file in os.listdir(os.path.join(tmp,dirname)):
os.remove(os.path.join(tmp,dirname,file))
os.rmdir(os.path.join(tmp,dirname))Run the script with: python3 vim /usr/bin/mysql_bakup.py The script creates a directory under /home/mysql named with the current timestamp, and stores compressed .sql.gz files for each database.
