i've used heidi to export databases as well, restoring from that worked perfectly fine, i just prefer cli since i run linux and every .exe through wine is clunky

my end goal is to automate my backups eventually, but i need to start small to make sure I don't break everything

Interesting. I currently just backup the whole VM. But doing a regular database export might also be good to do

I was thinking of backing up the whole VM but that's not super scalable over time. My end goal (with this being a private instance for just my friends and I to play on) is to have at LEAST a weekly backup that will run automatically during the work hours on Tuesday. Stops the authserver and worldserver properly, backs up the DBs, copies them to separate file share then upon completion of those tasks the authserver & world server are brought back online

Cause in theory as long as the configs are backed up, I can always recompile the actual build since I have the source codes for that backed up as well

Why shut the servers down when backing up the database? That makes no sense.
