Is there any limitations on the size of a MySQL database that can be backed up with MySql Dump
The only limitation as I see it is the actual filesize that the filesystem supports.
I have successfully backed up several GB of data using mysqldump. Or are you talking several hundreds of GB or even TB?
Keep in mind that the dump-file generated by mysqldump might be bigger than your actual data depending on how much indexes you have.
