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