How to backup multiple Mysql databases and automatically delete

The script below was adapted from iHRIS Backups (http://wiki.ihris.org/wiki/Backups) which was designed to backup one database. The script below will backup all databases in Mysql.

There is the option to remove database backup files older than 7days except from the first day of the month.


#!/bin/sh
MHOST=localhost
MUSER=db_username
MPASS=db_password
BACKUPDIR=/db/backup/dir

MYSQL="$(which mysql)"
MYSQLDUMP="$(which mysqldump)"

SUFFIX=`date +%F`
cd $BACKUPDIR

echo "Run MySQL backup"
DBS="$($MYSQL -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS -Bse 'show databases')"
for db in $DBS
do
    $MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db > backup_${db}_${SUFFIX}.sql
    bzip2 -f backup_${db}_${SUFFIX}.sql
done
## Uncomment the following line to remove backup files older than 7 days except from the first day of the month.
#find $BACKUPDIR -name "backup_*.sql.bz2" -mtime +7 -not -name "backup_*-01.sql.bz2" -exec rm {} \;


Save the file, and ensure the script is executable using the command chmod a+x newfile.

Perl Locale Warning.
The warnings could be irritating, especially when installing any application. The warnings are also visible when some commands are run

The warnings look like:
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

 
and when you run Run locale from the commandline
bonkhi@sparda-coven:$ locale

To disable this:

Hold "Info + Tone Control + Straight" for at least five seconds, while still holding, press the "Power" button.

Manually reboot the AVR for normal operation.

Restore crashed Windows 7 (with no recovery image) after installing Ubuntu

Have you tried dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 7 and windows fails?

Did the Ubuntu installation complete successfully, and grub was properly installed but you still get the blue screen of death when you try booting windows?

Well, this is simple. The answer is with the file type of the windows partition.

I am assuming you have set up Ubuntu and grub is correctly installed. If not, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair#A1st_option_:_get_a_CD_including_Boot-Repair for more information.

To correct this, boot your system to the Linux installation and run in root:
fdisk -l /dev/xxx


The Id for the windows partition (sda1 & sda2) is 42 which is the code for SFS. Change the file type Id to 7, which corresponds to HPFS/NTFS/exFAT, save and reboot.

fdisk /dev/xxx
In the prompt, type p to print the current partition table
To change the file type, type t in the prompt and enter the partition to change.

In my case, I will enter 1. 

For a list of the Hex code list of the file types, enter L in the prompt.

Enter 7 in the prompt, which corresponds to the HPFS/NTFS/exFAT file system.

Repeat the process for the second or third windows partition, and when done enter w in to save.

Reboot your system, and grub will load windows ! !  !
