Cerberus - MariaDB & MySQL Backup Scheduling and Management Tool

What is Cerberus and how does it work?

Cerberus is a simple tool for scheduling and managing backups of MariaDB or MySQL databases. It acts as a management tool for the standard mysqldump tool that is included with MariaDB and MySQL.

Cerberus includes a scheduler that will runs mysqldump to create backups with timestamp specific filenames according to a schedule either in a configuration file or by command arguments. The generated backup files may be stored on any location that is accessible for a Windows application (local drive, mapped drive, iSCSI target etc). FTP and file upload is not currently supported.

You may run Cerberus either from the command line or as a Windows service.
