Project Description

mysqlblasy is a Perl script for automating MySQL
database backups. It uses "mysqldump" for dumping
mysql databases to the files sytem. It was written
with automated usage in mind. For example, it is
silent during operation, and only produces noise
on errors/problems. It rotates backups
automatically to prevent the backup disk from
getting full when the administrator is on vacation
(or is lazy).

The "defaults-extra-file" config option was added,
which can be used instead of specifying the
username/password/host directly in the config
file. The "dbhost" config paramater is now also
used for the backup filename. If you use the new
"defaults-extra-file" for remote backups, this key
is still needed to set the filename. Code
formatting and minor fixes were done.

Using a MySQL configuration file ~/.my.cnf is now
the recommended way to hide passwords from the
process table. A new configuration file parameter,
"exclude databases", was introduced to specify a
comma separared list of database that are not to
be backed up. The "compression tool" configuration
file parameter was fixed to allow white space.
