Problem Backup with Automatic Password - mysqldump (2 replies)

Group

See who could help me in doubt below:

a) What could be going on in my routine mysql back up, because when I leave the password blank it asks for a password and it works without any problems.

c:\progra~1\mysql\mysqls~1.1\bin\mysqldump.exe -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p --hex-blob --databases projeto > c:\bak_sis\backup\projeto.sql

b) But when I put the password, it does not work, giving the following message below.

c:\progra~1\mysql\mysqls~1.1\bin\mysqldump.exe -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -pgf%nm$kj@2 --hex-blob --databases projeto > c:\bak_sis\backup\projeto.sql
