This is how you would use Mydumper for create a backup of a MySQL database, replace the variables (bash words starting with $) with the actual values. Once this process is complete you can zipup the folder and transfer it to the destination folder.

mydumper \ --database=$DB_NAME \ --host=$DB_HOST \ --user=$DB_USER \ --password=$DB_PASS \ --outputdir=$DB_DUMP \ --rows=500000 \ --compress \ --build-empty-files \ --threads=2 \ --compress-protocol

If you want to restore these backup you can use Myloader

myloader \ --database=$DB_NAME \ --directory=$DB_DUMP \ --queries-per-transaction=50000 \ --threads=10 \ --compress-protocol \ --verbose=3
