How do I mirror a database from remote Linux into Windows localhost?

Question

I would like to mirror Linux dev.example.com into Windows dev.example.com.local properly to be able to do development locally.

The key question I have now is how to properly handle mysql export and import to make sure both local and remote mysql instances are in sync?

I bet Step 4 is not enough here.

Step 4 is enough, they both will be in sync until you change data on one or the other instance.

As a bonus tip, you can ease this procedure by using drush to sync your environnements, via the use of drush aliases.

More details on this here.

Good-luck friend, happy coding.

I like answers of @greg-anderson and @betaride too but this one in my opinion is the most relevant to the question. – Refineo Dec 15 '11 at 10:44

You need only add an important step 5 to the above list:

Unfortunately, drush sql-sync is not currently supported on Windows. Patches welcome!

A very hand module for this is backup and migrate. It creates or intalls a complete backup of your db with one mouse click.
