Hi,

I use "automysqlbackup" script to do my daily Bugzilla backups. You can
download this highly configurable script from the following location.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/
Since, the backup happens just after midnight, I work under the
assumption that nobody is on the Bugzilla frontend.

If you want to do a simple one-time cold backup, suggest that you block
access to Bugzilla frontend and use the mysqldump command to do the DB
backup as explained below:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:FAQ:Administrative_Questions#How_do_I_move_a_Bugzilla_installation_from_one_machine_to_another.3F

Hope this helps.

Ashish

That's listed in the Upgrade section of the Bugzilla Guide:

Hi,

Pls open the script in an editor and go through the section called
"Options documantation" which explains what variables you need edit in
the script. Once you edit the script with proper variable values, you
need to run the script from wherever you have stored the same. I assume
you have the MySQL DB on the same system as the script.
