Backup MySQL users

Question

How do I backup MySQL users and their privileges?

Anything like mysqldump?

I am looking for something like:

mysqldump -d -u root -p MyTable &         


        

Answer 1

So far my experience with MySQL i didn't see anything to backup user and their privileges through a command line.

But i can backup those critical data by backing up mysql

mysqldump -u root -p mysql > mysql.sql
