How to backup MySQL events with mysqldump?

Question

I'm using the following mysqldump command to backup ma database:

mysqldump --extended-insert=FALSE -hlocalhost -uusername -ppassword --databases my_database > ${FILELOCAL}

This is working very well.

I this database I also have some scheduled events.

Unfortunately the backup file doesn't contain my scheduled events.

ATTENTION: I don't want to know how to schedule a backup with mysqldump . I want to know how to also backup my scheduled events when using mysqldump .

Answer 1

The solution is just to add --events like this:

mysqldump --extended-insert=FALSE -hlocalhost -uusername -ppassword --databases my_database --events > ${FILELOCAL}
