MySQL Administrator :: 12.2 Backup Project

The Backup Project tab allows you to set the name of your backup project and also determine what data will be backed up.

You can name your project by filling out a name in the Project Name field. If you have enabled the Add Date/Time to Backup Files option in the Administrator Options dialogue, then the date and time of the backup will be appended to the project name automatically. See Section 17.5.3, “Backup” for more information on setting this option.

Specify a name that clearly denotes the project, such as Full Backup or World Only. The project name may contain arbitrary characters, including spaces.

To choose the databases and tables that will be backed up, select the database from the schemata list and click the > button. Once the database is in the Backup Content list, you can un-check specific tables that you do not wish to back up.
