-# AutoMySQLBackup
+AutoMySQLBackup
+===============
  A fork and further development of AutoMySQLBackup from sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ 
+
+You can find some original files from the sourceforge package. Some files are adjusted to my needs:
+- support for MySQL 5.6 and MySQL 5.7
+- support for login path (since MySQL 5.6.x a secure way to save your mysql credentials was implemented)
+- adjusted the use of --ssl because it became depreated in MySQL 5.7. The parameter --ssl-mode=REQUIRED is used instead.
+
+add login path
+--------------
+Per default this script uses the login path automysqldump.
+
+```
+mysql_config_editor set --login-path=automysqldump --host=localhost --user=root --password
+```
+After that command give your mysql root password and you're done. If you have another user to create the password with, feel free to edit the user parameter.
+
+
+Have a try to make MySQL backups easily with this adjusted script. If you encounter any errors feel free to drop an issue. :)
