Introduction

In this challenge, we will backup a data table and output it as an SQL format file. The task involves starting MySQL, creating a database and table, and then using the mysqldump command to export the table data to an SQL file. The challenge also includes specific requirements for file names and directories where the files should be saved.

This is a Challenge, which differs from a Guided Lab in that you need to try to complete the challenge task independently, rather than following the steps of a lab to learn. Challenges are usually a bit difficult. If you find it difficult, you can discuss with Labby or check the solution.
