About mysqldump-secure

(logo)

Mysqldump-secure is a POSIX compliant open-source backup tool for MySQL databases with strong security in mind. It will backup every available database (which is readable by the specified user) as a separate file with the possibility to opt out via blacklisting. Dumped databases can optionally be piped directly to a compression tool (gzip, bzip2, etc) as well as to openssl in order to compress and/or encrypt the backup. Encryption is done before the file is written to disk to avoid possible race conditions.

The code is mostly written in bourne shell.
