The table below list all the command options formysqlbackup. Use the hyperlinks at the option names to jump to the detailed descriptions for the options.
Note
The command options can also be specified in configuration files; see explanations inChapter 17,Configuration Files and Parameters.mysqlbackup遵循MySQL的标准做法处理duplicate options, whether specified in a configuration file, on the command line, or both. Options are processed first from configuration files, then from the command line. If an option is specified more than once, the last instance takes precedence.
