Assuming you have the sql tools installed on your CentOS 7 install its a single command, mysqldump

See here: https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/mysql/use-mysqldump-to-back-up-mysql-or-mariadb/

Hope that helps,
Pat

Thank you very much pclemins!! i run this command that appears in that website…

Back up a specific database. Replace db1 with the name of the database you want to back up:

mysqldump -u username -p db1 --single-transaction --quick --lock-tables=false > db1-backup-$(date +%F).sql

Hey,

i think this is not fair / true. If i’m following the suggestion by @alfredb to open https://doc.owncloud.org/server/ and put the word “backup” in the search box at the top left i’m able to find the following documentation on how to backup ownCloud and its database with a few seconds effort:

https://doc.owncloud.com/server/10.1/admin_manual/maintenance/backup.html

I think the same could have been done by yourself when following the suggestion by @alfredb so he already helped you a lot :slightly_smiling_face:
