After that we will then show you how to perform a backup of the <code>\/var\/lib\/mysql<\/code> directory where MySQL have been located. Performing regular backups of your database and database server is vital to protecting the data that you have on your server. This way, in case something goes wrong on your Ubuntu 20.04 VPS, or if MySQL breaks for some reason (incompatibilities or otherwise), you&#8217;ll have a safe backup that you can revert to and prevent the loss of your precious data.<\/p>\n<p>Once you create a backup of MySQL databases and save them on your server or on a remote location, you can then always be able to restore the databases later from this backup, if needed. Creating a backup of MySQL database is essential for any website owner, and it should be done on a regular basis. Just follow the simple steps in this tutorial and your data will be redundant in no time.

MySQL is a component of the LAMP web application software stack (and others), which is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. MySQL is used by many web applications, including WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, and so many more. MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>This multi-step guide was written and tested for Ubuntu 20.04, but it should work on other Linux distributions as well. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>First off, we assume that you have SSH access to your server.<\/p>\n<p>Log in to your server via SSH:<\/p>\n<pre>ssh <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">root<\/span>@<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">server_ip<\/span> -p <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">port_number<\/span><\/pre>\n<p>You can replace <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">root<\/span> with the username of an administrator account if needed (our VPSes all have root access by default). Then replace <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">server_ip<\/span> with the IP address of your server, and <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">port_number<\/span> with your SSH port, with 22 being the default value.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Update-OS-packages\"><\/span>Step 1.

Install the MySQL Database server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MySQL is a popular database management system and it can be installed easily on any Linux server. Thanks to its popularity, packages for MySQL exist on almost all modern Linux distributions. The latest version of MySQL is version 8.0, but a newer version may exist after this article has been written.<\/p>\n<p>To install the MySQL service, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt install mysql-server<\/pre>\n<p>In order to verify that MySQL is installed, as well as check the status of the MySQL service, we can use the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>qpkg -l | grep -imysql\r\n\r\nsystemctl status mysql<\/pre>\n<p>The output of the <code>systemctl status mysql<\/code> command should be similar to this one:<\/p>\n<pre>\u25cf mysql.service - MySQL Community Server\r\n     Loaded: loaded (\/lib\/systemd\/system\/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)\r\n     Active: active (running) since Sun 2020-06-07 07:49:38 UTC; 52min ago\r\n   Main PID: 17700 (mysqld)\r\n     Status: \"Server is operational\"\r\n      Tasks: 39 (limit: 2266)\r\n     Memory: 325.7M\r\n     CGroup: \/system.slice\/mysql.service\r\n             \u2514\u250017700 \/usr\/sbin\/mysqld\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go over managing the MySQL service. Enable the MySQL service to start on server boot with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl enable mysql<\/pre>\n<p>For starting and stopping the MySQL service, we can use the following commands respectively:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mysql\r\n\r\nsystemctl stop mysql<\/pre>\n<p>In order to check the installed MySQL version, execute the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -V<\/pre>\n<p>The output should look similar to this:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql  Ver 8.0.20-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))<\/pre>\n<p>To improve the security of the MySQL server, it is a good idea to run the <strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong> script by typing the following command. It allows you to perform some extra configuration, such as setting a root password, deleting the example database, and so on:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Create-a-MySQL-Database\"><\/span>Step 3.
