MySQL backup all databases

To backup all databases on a MySQL server, run

mysql -e "show databases" | egrep -v "(-|Database|mysql|information_schema|performance_schema|phpmyadmin)"  > /tmp/sok-dbs.txt
for db in `cat /tmp/sok-dbs.txt`; do /usr/bin/mysqldump --events --routines --triggers $db > "${db}.sql"; done

This will create sql backup file for each database in your MySQL server on the current directory.

The first command will create a file with all database names. Second command loop through the database names and create backup using mysqldump command.
