​Backing up and restoring a large number of MySQL databases can be a daunting task, especially if you have over 100 databases. To streamline this process, you can export all your databases simultaneously and then import them back into your MySQL server in one go. Here's a quick guide on how to do this efficiently:


STEPS:


  1. Export All Databases:​
mysqldump --all-databases --user=username --password=password > all_databases_backup.sql

    or

mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all_databases_backup
.sql


In this case, the "root" is a temporary username, your's can be altered according to your username,

  1. Import All Databases:
mysql --user=username --password=password < all_databases_backup.sql

    or

mysql -u root -p < all_databases_backup
.sql

In this case, the "root" is a temporary username, your's can be altered according to your username


This approach ensures that you can back up and restore all your MySQL databases in a streamlined and efficient manner
