How to download dumps of databases from disconnected droplet?

Hello,

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 other 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
