Hi everybody,

I`ve been trying to make a backup database with command:
as admin manual.

mysqldump --single-transaction -h [server] -u [username] -p[password] [db_name] > nextcloud-sqlbkp_date +"%Y%m%d".bak

Where:
Server = localhost
username = dbuser
password = dbpassword
db_name = dbname

But appear an error:

mysqldump: Got error: 2005: "Unknow MySQL server host (localhost) (-2) when trying to connect.

Somebody can help me to explain why does not working? or how can I solve the problem?

Thank you.

You could also use my script which can automate the backup process:

Invoked with the following command it will create a backup of your Nextcloud directory, data directory and database:
.\ncupgrade /path/to/nextcloud -ob
