## Documentation

This container runs a single time, backing up a MySQL database to [Cloudflare R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/). To set up properly:

- Disable restarts
- Set a Cron schedule to back up as often as you'd like in settings

Internally, this uses [mydumper](https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper) to dump the database quickly (saving you compute cost over `mysqldump`) and [rclone](https://rclone.org/) to sync the data with a folder in an R2 bucket.

You can modify the [generated rclone config](https://github.com/dbanty/rclone-mysql-backup/blob/06174cac3204c2e1e7b992d8f4ff112aa801561c/entrypoint.sh#L7-L16) to support virtually any other target for the backup.
