Description:
Server Administration needs to be able to schedule a backup of a database into a single file, just like MySQLAdministrator can do.

How to repeat:
Start Workbench
Open Server Administration
Data dump has no facility to schedule a backup.

Suggested fix:
Just adding a mysqldump command line to Task Scheduler would be good.

Many thanks for writing a feature request.

The feature you requested already exist in MySQL Enterprise Monitor.

More information about MySQL Enterprise you will find here:

Does that mean that Workbench DOESN'T replace MySQLAdministrator?

Bug #53234, bug #54917 and bug #56119 were marked as a duplicate of this one. 

Based on internal discussion the decision about this feature request (made by product management) is still the same: we are NOT going to implement scheduled backups in MySQL Workbench.

I really sorry to hear this.
Why you discontinue MySQLAdministrator, if the replacement product (mysql workbench) can not really replace all features from the old one ?

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

MySQL Workbench is completely useless if it can't even do the most basic and most useful thing.

I will uninstall it now and go back to MySqlAdministrator, which is not just more stable but is also a much more useful tool.

MySQL Workbench is completely bloated with unnecessary features no one ever uses but can't schedule backups. Wow. Mysql is going downhill.

It seems Oracle just want make our life difficult and stop using MySQL and go to their arms. Actually I am not only uninstall workbench but start to look for alternatives for mysql, that is not Oracle either - Idont want to be part of Larry's religious saga against Microsoft.

Any suggestion for an alternative open source database?
