Working with backup sets : Oracle MySQL database backup sets : Before you begin : Requirements (Windows DS-Client)
 
Requirements (Windows DS-Client)
There are some prerequisites before you perform backups of MySQL databases:
Windows DS-Client: The mysql utility must be listed in the PATH environment variable of the DS-Client computer. (If you need to edit this variable, stop and restart the DS-Client service after making the change.)
DS-Client backs up MySQL Server using the MySQL utilities ‘mysqldump’ and ‘mysql’. The DS-Client’s mysqldump and mysql utilities must be compatible with the MySQL version running on the source machine (MySQL server).
For more information, refer to the following Knowledge Base article in “Backup / restore of MySQL database servers”.
