How can I download a backup from the stored ones using MySQL managed databases.

Hello, @kjimenezdev

As per Rajkishore’s reply there is no way to download the database at the moment. However you can manually export the database via ssh.

You can simply use the mysqldump command via ssh in order to export your databases and then copy them anywhere else (either locally or to another server) using scp or rsync.

The command will look like this:

mysqldump -u [username] -p [database-you-want-to-dump] > [path-to-place-data-dump]

So it could be something like this:

mysqldump -u root -p mydatabase > /home/myuser/database-dump.sql

You can check this article as well because everything is explained in detail:

Hi @kjimenezdev,

Currently, there is no way to download database backup from the cloud panel; you can initiate mysqldump level backup to export the database to your local machine/remote server.

The below product documentation can guide you with mysqldump:
