I'm running Docuware on server 2019. The old MySql gui tools application will not execute a backup without crashing the database service. I can successfully back up the database using workbench. I cant find a way to schedule a backup with this tool. I need to come up with a solution to back up my database daily. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi David,

this man page from MySQL lists all official ways to backup the database.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/backup-methods.html

It is probably possible to run mysqldump.exe from a scheduled task in Windows.

I know how to execute manual backups. I need to set up daily automatic backups. The old administration tool had this feature. This is really an important best practice.
