NAME
       mysqldump-secure - secure mysqldump with encryption

SYNOPSIS
        mysqldump-secure
        mysqldump-secure [--conf] [--cron] [--test] [--help] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
       Mysqldump-secure  is  a  POSIX  compliant shell backup script for MySQL
       databases with strong security in mind. It will backup every  available
       database  (which  is readable by the specified user) as a separate file
       with the possibility to opt out via blacklisting. Dumped databases  can
       optionally  be  piped  directly to gzip or openssl in order to compress
       and/or encrypt the backup. Encryption is done before the file is  writ-
       ten to disk to avoid possible race conditions.

OPTIONS
       Usage: mysqldump-secure [--conf]
              mysqldump-secure --cron [--conf]
              mysqldump-secure --test [--conf]
              mysqldump-secure --help
              mysqldump-secure --version

       When  invoked without any arguments, it will start dumping databases as
       defined in mysqldump-secure.conf.

       --conf      Pass different configuration file  than  the  default  one.
                   E.g.: --conf=/etc/mysqldump-secure-alt.conf

       --cron      Use  for cron run. It will only output errors and warnings
                   and will silence all debug output.

       --test      Test requirements and exit.

       --help      Show help screen.

       --version   Show version information.
