Benchmark

Performance test and comparison of Backup and Restore using MySqlBackup.NET, MySqlDump, and MySQL (instance).
Notes:

Running this test in the Visual Studio IDE debugging environment will slow down the process by 2-4 times.
For optimum speed, build this project with the [Release] profile and publish it to a folder. Use Windows IIS to run this ASP.NET app.
Executing mysqldump.exe and mysql.exe in ASP.NET:
- Local Windows 10/11 IIS: Works with default ApplicationPoolIdentity (no privilege changes needed).
- Shared Web Hosting: Executable restrictions prevent running mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe.
- Self-owned Windows Server/VPS: May (may not) require granting file system permissions to ApplicationPoolIdentity or changing to a custom account with MySQL access.

Please manually enter the file path of the following instance:

Initial Schema	*This database is expected to have already been populated with rows of data.
MySqlDump	*The executable file path of mysqldump.exe
MySql	*The executable file path of mysql.exe
Output Folder	*Destination folder of exported dump files
Report File	*Full file path location for saving the report
	Select mysql.exe Instance Execution Method: Execute mysql.exe directly with SOURCE command Execute mysql.exe through CMD shell with file redirection ( < )
	Total round for each stage (min: 1, max: 3)
	Get System Info
	Run Stage 1: Backup/Export - MySqlBackup.NET - Single Thread
	Run Stage 2: Backup/Export - MySqlBackup.NET - Parallel Processing
	Run Stage 3: Backup/Export - MySqlDump.exe
	Run Stage 4: Restore/Import - MySqlBackup.NET - Single Thread
	Run Stage 5: Restore/Import - MySqlBackup.NET - Parallel Processing
	Run Stage 6: Restore/Import - mysql.exe
	Clean Up Database After Use
	Delete dump file immediately after each process. Note: The first dump file must be kept for the import test
