Automated MySQL backups?

Hi. New user here, and very happy with what I am seeing so far.

Is there a suggested way to do automated daily MySQL backups so I can save them offline (just in case)?

Hello @JTBubbler ,

Unfortunately, we don’t provide an automated way to download MySQL backups. We do have a 5 day retention backup period, and do have many API functions at http://api.gearhost.com . Unfortunately, direct download is something we don’t support at the moment.

Hi @JTBubbler,

We added direct backup download support to our API. Check our docs for more information at https://api.gearhost.com
If you are windows user you can benefit from this utility https://github.com/gearhost/gearhost-db-backup
