Is there a Delphi component available that I can use to backup a MySQL database from a Delphi application?

Hi there!
Thanks for contacting us.

To work with MySQL, our UniDAC and MyDAC products contain components responsible for data backup.
You can learn more about the products by following the links:
https://www.devart.com/unidac/
https://www.devart.com/mydac/

For UniDAC it is a TUniDump component - the class that serves for storing data from tables or editable views as a script and for restoring data from a received script. TUniDump works on the client side.

For MyDAC it is TMyDump and TMyBackup components.

TMyDump - a component for storing database or its parts as a script and also for restoring database from the received script. TMyDump works on the client side.

TMyBackup - a component that serves for backup copying specified tables on the server. TMyBackup works on the server side.

You can read about using components in our online documentation at the following links:
