How to quickly back up MySQL in WAMP

LucasDecember 2, 20161 min readUpdated on November 4, 2023

Instead of dumping all the tables, as an alternative we can copy the necessary files from the MySQL “data” folder, and then restore these files in your new WAMP installation.

 

Copy all the files with the prefix “ib” and all the folders that correspond to the databases you want to back up, just as I did in the image above. Then just paste these files into your new WAMP installation, in my case “B:\wamp64backup\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.14\data” .

NOTE: Remember to turn off WAMP before carrying out the above procedure.
