Research direction

The issue mentions MySQL, BingeWorthy, feedBase, a server, and a local machine, but identifies no repository files, tests, or contribution entry point. Clarify whether the desired outcome is documentation or a code change, and define the backup workflow and acceptance criteria before assigning implementation work.

Description

Background

I need a MySQL mentor or two. While I was working on BingeWorthy and early versions of feedBase, I had two really good mentors on MySQL, JY Stervinou and Scott Hanson. I don't want to lean just on them, so I'm putting out a call for a few people with MySQL experience (more than me, minimal) so I can ask questions, and get answers based on experience. Saves a lot of time, and it will make feedBase more robust. With that in mind I have a basic question today, posted here. Thanks in advance! 💥

Today's questions

I have one really basic one.

  1. What's the best way to back up a MySQL database so that I can transfer the contents to my local machine, so I can test new features, without bringing the server down. I have a couple of features I want to add, but I'm going to need to start fresh a few times while I debug it. The only way to do it is to operate a copy locally with a good base of data to work with.

Thanks in advance for the help! ;-)
