Dumping Mysql database using Putty/SSH ?

[pi0tr3k]

you cant dump huge database using putty. I recommend you to use mysqldumper . Becoz i have a bad experience in dumping my 7gb database with putty . And finally got done by mysql dumper. U can hire me if u cant do.

Webmaster, much?

I even dumb my 15GB database using putty, without any problems.

@OP: add --verbose in your command to see if it works.

mysql --verbose --user=XXXXXXXX --password=XXXXXXXX DB_NAME < /PATH/TO/DUMPFILE.SQL

Or, do

mysql --user=XXXXXXXX --password=XXXXXXXX DB_NAME < /PATH/TO/DUMPFILE.SQL &

Note the & at the end! Like this, you can now type

top

and see if mysqldump is working or not

Also, when I dump my 15GB database, it takes +2h on a shitty VPS.

Cheers & good luck.
