Hi,

I would like to use Azure MySQL flexible server, but I can't seems to find where the backup/restore options.

Where can I access the options or the portal or through the shell?

Any input is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi @SoonJoo@Genting Thank you for posting your question . By default, Azure Database for MySQL enables automated backups of your entire server (encompassing all databases created) with a default 7 day retention period. The only way to manually take a backup is by using community tools such as mysqldump as documented here or mydumper as documented here.

    Please let me know if you need any further clarification.

    Regards,
    Oury
