Ruby scripts to back up every single mysql database on your system to .sql files, and to restore from them

Introduction

A Rakefile to backup your MYSQL datbases. Probably requires Ruby 1.9+

Usage

Place plain text files in lists/ . Each list should contain a list of database names, one per line. Feel free to generate this as you see fit.

Then:

rake backup:list:[listname]

will backup all those databases to backups/[listname]/[databasename];

rake restore:list:[listname]

will restore all the databases in backups/[listname];

rake backup:list:[listname]

will drop all the databases in that list.
