How to Backup Database - Where is the SQL file located?
-
With this command (and similar ones) I always get the error message as follows:
[I][B]mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user ‘fog’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) when trying to connect[/B][/I]
-
I use “root” to backup all my databases. That or you will need to “GRANT” permissions to the FOG user. Also make sure your PASSWORD has no space after “-p”.

That did it!!! Thanks!
How do I restore it after say a fatal event occurs…
Should I start a new thread?

[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333]mysql -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD < filename.sql[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333]Where “filename.sql” is the backup file you created. Make sure to unzip the file before restoring the database if you used gzip from my earlier post.[/COLOR][/FONT]

when restoring after a ‘disaster’ do you build Ubuntu, Install FOG, then import the dump? does the server have to have the same IP etc
-
You need to install FOG before you restore. The IP address should not matter when restoring a backup. You might have to go to the webpage and change the IP address under Other Info > FOG Settings. I have never changed IP’s when moving FOG so I am not sure if you need to do that.
-
I only dump and restore the fog database, not the entire mysql instance. Minor changes to the commands used, documented well in the mysqldump section of the mysql website.
You can also tar+gzip your /opt/fog/, /var/www/fog/, and /tftpboot/ folders to preserve your fog installation. I host my images on a raid 5 array, so hopefully I do not lose them because of a disk failure. I have almost a 400GB of image files, so backing them up to another location takes a while.
-
i backup the images though not such a big thing for me as i only have 2 soon to be 3 images when i start testing/deploying window 7 x64.
- windows 7 all software deployed with SAD2 driver tool
- windows 7 all software deployed with SAD2 driver + games
also my two master images are Virtual machines in virtualbox and get backed up from my box to a 2nd HD and to our servers along with fog mysql database, full inventory reports etc
