MySQL Master ServerMySQL Master Server is a server in MySQL replication configuration that hosts Master Database and acts as a primary source of data. Whenever a website or a MySQL-driven application adds new rows and update existing records on the Master Server, all changes are automatically reproduced on one or several Slave Servers.

When you create a backup of your Master database, it is created as a dump file, i.e. a complete set of SQL commands that need to be run to re-create all data on an empty server. Format of the backup is human-readable and can be modified without fear. Specifically, you can find the CREATE TABLE statements and supplement them with ENGINE=MyISAM. When you restore this backup, the respective tables will have MyISAM as a storage engine. To learn more, please see MySQL Backup Software.
