MySQL 5.0 data backup from java

[sanjay_sharma77]

I'm using mySQL 5.0 and tomcat 5 in my web application.
The database is in server.
I want a simple backup utility in my application to backup the database and store in my specified folder location.

Can any one help me. I have seen lots of site to back database from java. But none of them is working.

Please help me with correct code.

Thanks Much.

I don't know the answer to your question but i think backing up database using mysqldump with a cron job can be a better way for most of the cases.
