This article explains how to do a mysqldump of your ehd data. These dump files can be useful for routine backups, when upgrading eHD versions, or for technical support.
To get a mysqldump of your eHD database, the following information is required: - the database user (often 'root') - password - eHD database name (often 'ehelpdesk')
Open a command prompt or terminal window. The basic command takes the following form:
If no password is set for the user, the -p option can be omitted. The dump file will be created in the current directory with the name passed to the --result-file argument.
Examples:
For database user 'root', no password, and database name 'ehelpdesk': mysqldump -u root --result-file=ehelpdesk-dump.sql ehelpdesk
For database user 'ehd', with password, and database name 'ehd'; mysqldump -u ehd -p --result-file=ehd-dump.sql ehd
