I use the following script to do a similar thing. I do have the same 'root'
password on both databases though:
<---------------- cut
#!/bin/bash
pass=$2
if [ "$2" == "" ];then
read -s -p"Password: " pass
echo ""
fi
mysqldump --master-data --add-drop-table -u$1 -p$pass mythconverg | mysql
-htsunami -u$1 -p$pass mythconverg
<---------------- cut
I use it like:
$ mysqlbackup root
it then asks for one password.
You could redirect mysql dump to a file, and then cat this into mysql later
on.
Or if you've got some kind of graphical thingy handy, the mysql-admin gui
tool has a fairly easy to use backup facility.
(The '--master-data' may not be needed, I'm using replication, this is my
'replication has all gone wrong' script, and that switch is used to add the
binary log file position to the backup.)
