Can anybody tell me that how to get DB backup script from Remote Server in MySQL using command-line utility?
I'm using a command as follows, but not working:
C:\>mysqldump -h <server ip> -u <user-id> -p <password> <db name> >
E:\dumpfilename.sql
The syntax for the password is wrong. You need to write the password immediately after the -p
, without a space. That's why the password is interpreted as the database name.
Write this instead:
C:\>mysqldump -h <server ip> -u <user-id> -p<password> <db name> >
E:\dumpfilename.sql
Notice how there is no space after -p
. An example would be -phunter2
, where the password is "hunter2".
