mysqldump-secure(1) General Commands Manual mysqldump-secure(1) NAME mysqldump-secure - secure mysqldump wrapper with encryption SYNOPSIS mysqldump-secure mysqldump-secure [--conf] [--cron] [--test] [-v[-v]] [--help] [--version] DESCRIPTION Mysqldump-secure is a POSIX compliant shell wrapper for mysqldump(1) 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 gzip or openssl in order to compress and/or encrypt the backup. Encryp- tion is done before the file is written to disk to avoid possible race con- ditions. OPTIONS Usage: mysqldump-secure [--conf] [--cron] [--test] [-v[v]] mysqldump-secure --help mysqldump-secure --version When invoked without any arguments, it will start dumping databases as de- fined in mysqldump-secure.conf. --conf Pass different configuration file than the default one. E.g.: --conf=/etc/mysqldump-secure-alt.conf --cron Use for cron run. It will only output errors and warnings and will silence all info, debug and trace output. --test Test requirements and exit. Combine with -v or -vv for more verbose output. -v Show debug output. Can be combined with --conf and --test -vv Show debug and trace output. Can be combined with --conf and --test --help Show help screen. --version Show version information. FILES /etc/mysqldump-secure.cnf This file stores mysql credentials. /etc/mysqldump-secure.conf Main configuration file. EXAMPLE Prior using mysqldump-secure to backup databases, you should run the test mode in order to make sure everything is setup correctly. Running the test mode directly after installation should give you an error about the MySQL connection. > mysqldump-secure --test [INFO] (OPT): Logging enabled [INFO] (OPT): MySQL SSL connection disabled [INFO] (OPT): Compression enabled [INFO] (OPT): Encryption disabled [INFO] (OPT): Deletion disabled [INFO] (OPT): Nagios log enabled [INFO] (OPT): Info files enabled [FATAL] (RUN): Cannot connect to mysql database. [FATAL] (RUN): Via: /usr/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysqldump-se- cure.cnf [FATAL] (RUN): SQL: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'readon- lyuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [FATAL] (HLP): Fix credentials in: /etc/mysqldump-secure.cnf [FATAL] Aborting So in order to fix that, you should change credentials in /etc/mysqldump- secure.cnf. Once done, the output should look like this: > mysqldump-secure --test [INFO] (OPT): Logging enabled [INFO] (OPT): MySQL SSL connection disabled [INFO] (OPT): Compression enabled [INFO] (OPT): Encryption disabled [INFO] (OPT): Deletion disabled [INFO] (OPT): Nagios log enabled [INFO] (OPT): Info files enabled If no errors or warnigs are shown and the program exits with 0, you are ready to go. Add the verbose flag to get more information. Either use -v for debug or -vv for debug and trace output. EXIT STATUS 0 All fine, no fatals, no errors and no warnings occured. 1 Warnings occured, but all dumps were successfull. 2 Errors occured, but all dumps were successfull. 3 Failed. Mysqldump encountered errors. 4 Abort. The program aborted, due to missing requirements, wrong arguments or a misconfiguration.
