Backup database with MySQL shell, alternative to mysqldump, mysqlsh

Dump all:

DBname="zabbix"
DBdumpath="/tmp"
util.dumpTables(DBname, [], DBdumpath + DBname, {"all": true,"threads": 4,"bytesPerChunk": "256M"});

restore schema:

util.loadDump(DBdumpath + DBname, {schema: "zabbix", "threads": 1, "loadData": false });

restore data, without history:

util.loadDump(DBdumpath + DBname, {schema: "zabbix", "threads": 1, "loadDdl": false, excludeTables:[DBname+".history",DBname+".history_str",DBname+".history_text",DBname+".uint",DBname+".log"]});
