Get a MySQL DB dump from a remote machine

This command will dump a database on a remote stream to stdout, compress it, stream it to your local machine, decompress it and put it into a file called database.sql.You could even pipe it into mysql on your local machine to restore it immediately. I had to use this recently because the server I needed a backup from didn't have enough disk space.

Backup all MySQL Databases to individual files

No need to loop when we have `xargs`. The sed command filters out the first line of `show databases` output, which is always "Database".

Create Encrypted WordPress MySQL Backup without any DB details, just the wp-config.php

The coolest way I've found to backup a wordpress mysql database using encryption, and using local variables created directly from the wp-config.php file so that you don't have to type them- which would allow someone sniffing your terminal or viewing your shell history to see your info. I use a variation of this for my servers that have hundreds of wordpress installs and databases by using a find command for the wp-config.php file and passing that through xargs to my function.

Create a backup copy of a MySQL database on the same host

This should probably only be used for testing in a dev environment as it's not terribly efficient, but if you're doing something that might trash a DB and you still want the old data available, this works like a charm.

A command to copy mysql tables from a remote host to current host via ssh.

In the example above 3 tables are copied. You can change the number of tables. You should be able to come up with variants of the command by modifying the mysqldump part easily, to copy some part of remote mysql DB.

ssh username@remotehost 'mysqldump -u <dbusername> -p<dbpassword> <dbname> tbl_name_1 tbl_name_2 tbl_name_3' | mysql -u <localusername> -p<localdbpassword> <localdbname> < /dev/stdin

Exclude inserting a table from a sql import

Starting with a large MySQL dump file (*.sql) remove any lines that have inserts for the specified table. Sometimes one or two tables are very large and uneeded, eg. log tables. To exclude multiple tables you can get fancy with sed, or just run the command again on subsequently generated files.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

sed '/INSERT INTO `unwanted_table`/d' mydb.sql > reduced.sql

Back up only databases matching PATTERN

Sometimes, I just want to back up a single client's databases. Fortunately, all clients have a set prefix to their database names. This makes my life easy! I just use 'CLIENTNAME_%' as my MYSQL_PATTERN in this command, and my life is suddenly easy. mysqldump params: -e - (optional) use extended insert. -B - what follows is a list of databases -v - (optional) give verbose output mysql params: -N - don't write column names in output (prevents us trying to back up a database called "Database").
This is sample output - yours may be different.
