[from pbgormley] Creating MySQL Backups With AutoMySQLBackup | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials - [NICVA network on del.icio.us]

Installed AutoMySQLBackup, next step configure the settings for connecting to mySQL.

We then configured automysqlbackup.sh.2.5 to match the test mySQL DB we where going to use (paul_test).

We set the location of the backup to the NAS (NICVANas\BkUp_Sue)

The next step was to make the script executable and to the start it (chmod 755 automysqlbackup.sh.2.5 followed by ./automysqlbackup.sh.2.)

On testing we discovered that the backup had run to the local disk rather than the NAS.

back to the drawing board :/
