If you can run Perl, you can automate the backups with a cron job. Even if your hoster does not offer cron jobs, you can use them with another provider. If it is a smaller database, you can have the backups sent to you by email. If the backup file is too large to be sent by email, you can have the backups automatically transferred to up to 3 different FTP servers. You don't need to be an expert to secure your databases securely. MySQLDumper controls almost every possible source of error independently and does not bother you with technical questions as far as possible. Easy backup and restore of MySQL databases. E-mail notification of completed backup processes with and without the backup file being attached. The attachments can be limited to a maximum size. Automatic sending of the backup via FTP to up to 3 other servers. Convenient management of the backup files, all information at a glance.

Django-MySQL extends Django’s built-in MySQL and MariaDB support their specific features not available on other databases. A new cache backend that makes use of MySQL’s upsert statement and does compression. Named locks for easy locking of e.g. external resources. Extra checks added to Django’s check framework to ensure your Django and MySQL configurations are optimal. Django-MySQL comes with a number of extensions to QuerySet that can be installed in a number of ways - e.g. adding the QuerySetMixin to your existing QuerySet subclass.
