# MySQL Database Backup Script 🗄️
If you need to backup MySQL databases on a **Linux / MacOS / Windows** system, the `ms-bkp` script provides an easy-to-use solution. It allows you to export databases, skip specific ones, and set the destination path for the backup.
---
## Installation 🚀
1. **Clone the Repository:**
- Clone the [ms-bkp](https://github.com/vinugawade/ms-bkp) repository to your local machine using the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vinugawade/ms-bkp.git
```
2. **Move the Script to a Global Location:**
- Move the script to a global location on your system using the following command:
```bash
sudo mv /location/of/ms-bkp /usr/local/bin
```
3. **Set Script Permissions:**
- Allow everyone to execute the script by choosing one of the following commands:
```bash
sudo chmod +x /location/of/ms-bkp
```
OR
```bash
sudo chmod 0755 /location/of/ms-bkp
```
4. **Add to $PATH:**
- Add `/usr/local/bin` to your `$PATH`. If you use the Bash shell, execute the command:
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
```
OR
```bash
export PATH=$PATH:/location/of/ms-bkp
```
This will set the variable name, potentially in a file like `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.bashrc`, or `~/.profile`. If you're unsure where to put it, `~/.bashrc` is a good choice.
> **You may need to restart your shell for this to take effect.**

## Script Options 🎛️
The `ms-bkp` script supports the following options:
- `-u, --user`: MySQL username
- `-p, --password`: MySQL password
- `-o, --only`: Export only the specified database
- `-s, --skip`: Skip specified databases during export (comma-separated)
- `-d, --dest`: Destination path for the backup (default: ~/Downloads)
---
## Usage 🛠️
Now you can use the script from anywhere in the terminal. Below are some examples.
```bash
ms-bkp -u your_mysql_user -p your_mysql_password -o your_database_name
```
```bash
ms-bkp -u your_mysql_user -p your_mysql_password -s db1,db2,db3 -d /path/to/backup
```
