When run locally on a MySQL platform it makes local dumps of databases table-by-table to files. These files are then automatically checked into a preconfigured Subversion or GIT repository. The primary advantage is in having complete incremental historical snapshots of your database(s) available for potentially a longer time than standard monolithic database dumps. If you find you need to transpose databases to other locations a lot, then storing your backups in a remote version control repository can help to speed things up. Instead of waiting for an entire dump to be transferred, you can just keep a local working copy of the backup and update the incremental changes using Subversion or GIT before importing the data into MySQL. Some further rationale for it’s existence is in [this document] This method and tool is not recommended for huge databases (or at least it hasn’t been tested). It is probably also not much good for databases that store a lot of frequently changing binary data. You can automate the backup process by setting up a cron job on your server.
