如何备份 Heroku ClearDB MySQL 数据库？

Question

I have a PHP Heroku app running, which uses a ClearDB MySQL database. I need to make backups of the database. I've been searching how to do it but I can't find it. Thanks.

Answer 1

As suggested, you can do:

mysqldump -u<username> <DATABASENAME> --host=<host-url> -p > <afilename>

It will look something like

mysqldump -ub13cXXXXX heroku_6a343XXXXX --host=eu-cdbr-west-03.cleardb.net -p > mydbdump.sql

And it will ask your password.
