Simple backup of MySQL

Sometimes I need to quick backup my database and download it to my pc, I use mysqldump command to do that and to save time of downloading, i compress it with gzip, here the command :

$ mysqldump -u MySQLuser -pMySQLpassword --opt db-name l gzip -c -9 > /path/to/backup/folder/backup-name.sql.gz

remember not to put spaces between -p and the password

and after i've download it, I create a db-name database in MySQL, and restore the backup using command :

$ gzip -d /path/to/backup/folder/backup-name.sql.gz
$ mysql -u MySQLuser -pMySQLpassword db-name < /path/to/backup/folder/backup-name.sql

remember not to put spaces between -p and the password !!
