title: Importing all MySQL databases
body: <p>I <code>mysqldump --all-databases</code> nightly as a backup. But on importing this dump into a clean installation, I obviously run into a couple issues.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I obviously can't (and don't want to) overwrite the new information_schema.</li>
  <li>All my users and permissions settings are lost, unless I overwrite the <code>mysql</code> database.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What is standard practice in this situation? Parse out information_schema from .sql file before uploading? And do I overwrite the <code>mysql</code> database or not?</p>
