# SQL Backup Tool for Linux
A tool for automating SQL database backups and sending email notifications with attachments.
## Requirements:
- **Linux** or Linux-based distributions
- **Mail service**: Sendmail, Exim4, or Postfix (required if sending email attachments)
## Installation:
1. Download and extract the ZIP file.
2. Navigate to the extracted directory and set execute permission for the installer:
`sudo chmod +x install.sh`
3. Run the installer with sudo: `sudo ./install.sh`
4. Follow the on-screen instructions in the terminal to complete the setup.
## Test Script
- After completing the setup, you can test the script by running the following command in the terminal:
`sudo runsqlbackup`
## Database Restoration
- The backup file is in the *.sql.gz format. You need to extract it first, then import it into the database to restore the data.
`gunzip backup.sql.gz`
## Notes:
- Modify the sender and recipient email settings as needed.
- The server must have a working **sendmail** service and an active **cronjob**.
- SQL backups will be automatically created on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis in the default directory: `/var/backups/db`.
