Description:
As of MySQL 5.1.23, mysqldump can print a timestamp when it completes if --dump-date option is specified. While it prints a completion time only, but the timestamp when it begins is more meaningful when taking a backup. Because people often are interested in when it starts rather than when it completes especially if --single-transaction option is specified altogether. With --single-transaction option, the dump contains the data when the backup starts.
