Edit the config file on the server
sudo nano /etc/backupbird/conf.toml
Insert the following into the configuration file, and add your infomation.
[[database]] driver = "mariadb" hostname = "localhost" username = "" password = "" database = "" port = "3306"* The agent uses mysqldump to make the backup. This means you have to install the MariaDb client on the machine

database = "*"
In some cases you need to backup more than one mysql database. Then you just insert a another block in the configuration
[[database]] driver = "mariadb" hostname = "localhost" username = "" password = "" database = "" port = "3306" [[database]] driver = "mariadb" hostname = "localhost" username = "" password = "" database = "" port = "3306"
