@Peter_Laursen
I_S and P_S are excluded if you run –all-databases, If you put them in a database list, they are backed up.

Interesting .. but:

1) I think excluding I_S and P_S explicitly like this is not required. To my best knowledge I_S and P_S are not backed up by mysqldump unless specified explicitly.

2) In SQLyog we had for years options to “backup all databases” 1) with the `mysql`database 2) and without the `mysql` database (and I_S and P_S will also be skipped if not explicitly selected). This is relevant not only for Cloud-based solutions like AWS but also with various type of ‘shared hosting’ and ‘managed hosting’. Users here will (maybe and to some extend) have the privileges to export/backup from `mysql` but not to import/restore to it! I am actually surprised that I did not see it in other tools (but I don’t see everything obviously).
