+
+## Introduction
+
+MySqlBackup.NET is a tool (DLL) that can backup/restore MySQL database in .NET Programming Language. It is an alternative to MySqlDump. 
+
+This tool is develop in C# but able to be used in any .NET Language (i.e. VB.NET, F#, etc).
+
+Another benefits of making this tool is, we don't have to rely on two small programs - MySqlDump.exe and MySql.exe to perform the backup and restore task. We will have better control on the output result in .NET way.
+
+The most common way to backup a MySQL Database is by using MySqlDump and MySQL Workbench.
+
+MySQL Workbench is good for developers, but, when comes to client or end-user, the recommended way is to get every parameter preset and all they need to know is press the big button "Backup" and everything is done. Using MySQL Workbench as a backup tool is not a suitable solution for client or end-user.
+
+On the other hand, MySqlDump.exe cannot be used for Web applications. As most providers forbid that, MySqlBackup will be helpful in building a web-based (ASP.NET) backup tool. 
+
+## Reminder for Using UTF8 and Unicode Characters
+
+If your database involves any UTF8 or Unicode Characters. You must use a MySQL database with default character of UTF8. MySqlBackup.NET stands on top of MySql.Data.DLL. MySql.Data.DLL only works well with UTF8 database and tables while handling Unicode Characters, such as
+
+* Western European specific languages, the character of 'À', 'ë', 'õ', 'Ñ'.
+* Russian, Hebrew, India, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese characters, etc.
+
