Template:MySQLdump Windows

MySQLdump script for Windows OSes using MySQLdump is possible, and the tool is typically provided along with the mysql/mariadb-server installation. This is a script that can be used either manually or be hung into a time-repetitive scheduler. Log files are created with filenames that have a timestamp built-in, so older backups will not be overwritten. Copy the script below into your favorite text-editor and save it as a .bat (batch) file into the location+filename of your choosing. You can export database contents for the Kodi video library, music library, and the database user for the Kodi application.
