Review on MySQLDumper by Dale Toth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for simple and fast one off file restoration

I like that it's easy to use, free (as in beer), cross-platform/OS friendly so can be used anywhere! The GUI could look better but overall this works well enough as an option when you need something quick & dirty without having too much code involved or needing any more than basic knowledge of how things work under Linux / Unix systems - which most people should already know anyway if they're using them regularly :) It does what we want really quickly with no issues at all from my end.

We have been able solve our backup needs very easily by dumping tables into files then restoring those backups onto another server once needed again via FTP etc., just copy paste restore everything back over where required instead doing manual stuff manually each time before hand! The GUI makes it very easy to use, I have been able to restore my backups quickly with no errors or issues at all! It's really cheap too so definitely worth checking out if you're looking into backup solutions. Nothing as such but perhaps some more features could be added - like being able to compress the database dump files before restoring them (not sure why this wasn't an option when creating dumps).

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Free software for non commercial usage
  • Cross platform support including Windows OSes also included within download package.
  • Can do SQL Dump file creation directly through command line tools provided rather simple instructions are followed correctly along side other necessary commands eithout issue
Cons
  • It is hard to say
