history

Project history and usage

MyDumper is a community-maintained logical backup and restore toolset for MySQL-family databases. Its own documentation frames the project as a response to the limits of mysqldump: mysqldump is widely used for logical backups, but its single-threaded design makes large backups and restores slow. MyDumper split that workflow into two programs, `mydumper` for exporting consistent backups and `myloader` for importing them, with both tools built around multithreading.

Project history

The project has long occupied the DBA niche between the official mysqldump client and heavier physical-backup systems. Package descriptions and project documentation emphasize separate output files for tables and metadata, consistent snapshots across worker threads, binary log position capture, compression, regex-based selection, and parallel restore. A 2015 Percona post about version 0.9.1 highlighted full schema support in MyDumper/MyLoader, reducing the need to combine MyDumper data dumps with mysqldump schema dumps.

How it is used

In practice, MyDumper is used for fast logical backups, restores, and migrations where SQL-level portability matters but database size makes serial dumps painful. Cloud migration guides from Microsoft describe mydumper/myloader as community tools for large Azure Database for MySQL migrations, including examples that run MyDumper near the source database, tune thread counts, split table data into chunks, compress traffic, and restore with MyLoader on the target. Homebrew, Nix, and Ubuntu package it as `mydumper`, usually exposing the two command-line programs `mydumper` and `myloader`.
