MySQLBackupFTP is a comprehensive program for Windows that caters to the needs of users seeking to backup specific MySQL databases and upload them to an FTP server. It also provides capabilities for scheduling regular operations.

Initial configuration

The first step is to tweak the connection settings. Thus, you are able to access MySQL databases via the TCP/IP protocol or phpMyAdmin. In either case, you have the option to create scripts that can be used to restore your files.

The utility allows you to enter the hostname and port number, then test the connection. Subsequently, you can view all available databases in the left panel. In case you would like to modify the server parameters, you may visit the Tools menu.

Create and schedule backups

Upon selection of desired databases, you can add a new backup destination. It is possible to choose between a local or network folder, FTP server, Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, or Amazon S3. Each of them offers advanced settings to enhance security.

Another important aspect of this program is the ability to schedule backup tasks. All you need to do is pick the plan that suits your individual needs. The saving is performed autonomously, without interfering with other applications nor showing pop-up messages.
