config setprop automysqlbackup Backupdir "path/to/other/folder"
you have to create your new backup directory
mkdir -p path/to/other/folder
Mailcontent
you can choose your type of mail send to the admin (log by default)
config setprop automysqlbackup Mailcontent "option"
- log : send only log file (default)
- files : send log file and sql files as attachments
- stdout : will simply output the log to the screen if run manually.
- quiet : Only send logs if an error occurs to the MAILADDR.
Mailto
you can choose the mail account where you sent your mails.(default is admin)
config setprop automysqlbackup Mailto "foo@foo.com"
Sizemail
you can determine the size of mails sent.(default is 8000 bytes)
config setprop automysqlbackup Sizemail 8000
RESTORING
In a root terminal
cd /root/backup/db/ and choose your backup gunzip file-name.sql.gz
Next you will need to use the mysql client to restore the DB from the sql file.
mysql database < /path/file.sql
NOTE: Make sure you use < and not > in the above command because you are piping the file.sql to mysql and not the other way around
