| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1 — Choose the source databases | Select the application databases to back up or migrate. |
| 2 — Run migration prechecks | Analyze Source → Target compatibility when a Target is defined. |
| 3 — Create the dump | Choose separate or grouped mode and start creating the dump. |
| 4 — Import | Choose a dump, select the databases to restore, optionally rename them, and then import them to the Target. |
For a simple backup
Leave the Target field blank. You will mainly use steps 1 and 3; migration prechecks are not necessary in this case.
