Backup MySQL users

Question

How do I backup MySQL users and their privileges?

Anything like mysqldump?

I am looking for something like:

mysqldump -d -u root -p MyTable &         


        

Answer 1

You can backup mysql database using

mysqldump -u root -p mysql > mysql.sql

and restore mysql database by executing

 mysql -uroot -p mysql < mysql.sql

Dont forget to

FLUSH PRIVILEGES

after restoring dump.

Hope it helps...
