Way to create an event to save database in mysql

Question

Is there any way to create an event in phpMyAdmin which will allow me to save database into the folder each week?

Answer 1

No, this isn't possible. First, phpMyAdmin is designed to be an interactive GUI, not a scripting interface with an API for you to access. Secondly, there's no way to specifically call phpMyAdmin on any kind of schedule.

If you have command-line and task scheduler (cron, systemd, etc) access, you can script something pretty easily with mysqldump. If not, there are plenty of stand-alone utilities (including some suggestions linked in e4c5's post) which you can call in various ways (MySQL scheduled task, a scheduled task running on your local machine which hits a webpage triggering the dump, and more).
