Automatically incremental / differential backup mysql databases.

If you need to back up your MySQL database frequently, you may found it's really troublesome. If your MySQL database is very large, you have to waste a lots of time to back up it, and it may takes up a lots of disk space. We advise you make incremental / differential backup. For example: Make a full backup every week and a incremental or differential backup every day.

With the software Automatic Backup Scheduler for MySQL, you can easily make incremental or differential backup. The software will automatically make full backup / incremental backup / differential backup according to your set. It can automatically back up the newly-created MySQL database items. You can select any items of the database to back up, or only back up the structure or records.

Please follow the steps to automatically copy MySQL database to the other MySQL database:

Please download and install the software Automatic Backup Scheduler for MySQL.

1. For MySQL incremental/differential backup, you need to enable the binary logs at first.
2. Launch the software Automatic Backup Scheduler for MySQL.
3. Create a task to Back up MySQL databases to the SQL files.
4. Enter the name of the task on Step 1 of the Task Wizard and click Next.
5. Connect the source server on Step 2 of the Task Wizard and click Next.

If you want to make an incremental backup to the other MySQL server, please create a Back up MySQL databases to the other server task.
