如何在winforms中定期自动备份MySql数据库？

Question

In winforms application I want to backup my database once for every week. How can i do this. Can it be done through Coding or should I go for batch file? And the backup must be done automatically with out any user interface..

Answer 1

You could do it either way.

If you write a batch file, you can have the Windows Scheduler run this file once a week.

Either way, you must make sure the database is closed before running the backup. This may be easier with code.

Use the Copy method of the System.IO.File class.
