 ====== Backup ======
+===== Simple //naive// backup =====
+Back up all databases into one file at once is a **bad idea**.
+  - If there is a single problem (corrupted table, unreadable file, whatever), the rest of DB will **not** be dumped
+  - Restoring one DB within many from one file is difficult, time consuming and with slightly bigger databases ~ 10GB i wish you a lot of RUM
+Here is an example anyway
 <code sql>
-GRANT LOCK TABLES, SELECT ON *.* TO 'backupuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret-password';
+mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all_db_backup.sql
+</code>
+In a script
+<code sql>
+mysqldump -u root --password="my_secret" --all-databases > all_db_backup.sql
+</code>
+If you are going to use this simple and //not so clever// backup, please at least make the file root readable only.
+=====Better way=====
+The backup user just need lock and read privileges. Create a backup user and grant lock tables and select privileges to it with the following MariaDB/MySQL commands
+<code sql>
+GRANT LOCK TABLES, SELECT ON *.* TO 'backupuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_passwd';
 flush privileges;
+</code>
+Then list all databases and in backup one after another. Use umask to keep you files root readable only. Here is our script for 7 days rotating backups.
+<code bash>
+DAY=$(date +"%w")
+BACKUP_TMP="/some_storage/db/mysql-${DAY}"
+PASS="some_passwd"
+USR="backupuser"
+umask 077
+mkdir -p $BACKUP_TMP
+mysql -u $USR  --password=$PASS -Bse "SHOW DATABASES" | while read DB ; do
+        mysqldump --no-tablespaces --single-transaction -u $USR --password=$PASS ${DB} | bzip2 > $BACKUP_TMP/${DB}.sql.bz2
+done
 </code>
