It depends a bit on your version  Before 5 0 13 this is not possible with mysqldump   From the mysqldump man page  v 5 1 30    --routines  -R        Dump stored routines  functions and procedures  from the dumped       databases  Use of this option requires the SELECT privilege for the       mysql proc table  The output generated by using --routines contains       CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION statements to re-create the       routines  However  these statements do not include attributes such       as the routine creation and modification timestamps  This means that       when the routines are reloaded  they will be created with the       timestamps equal to the reload time                   This option was added in MySQL 5 0 13  Before that  stored routines       are not dumped  Routine DEFINER values are not dumped until MySQL       5 0 20  This means that before 5 0 20  when routines are reloaded        they will be created with the definer set to the reloading user  If       you require routines to be re-created with their original definer        dump and load the contents of the mysql proc table directly as       described earlier

Use these commands  -  mysqldump  lt other mysqldump options gt  --routines  gt  outputfile sql   If we want to backup ONLY the stored procedures and triggers and not the mysql tables and data then we should run something like   mysqldump --routines --no-create-info --no-data --no-create-db --skip-opt  lt database gt   gt  outputfile sql   If you need to import them to another db server you will have to run something like   mysql  lt database gt   lt  outputfile sql

In addition to the --routines flag you will need to grant the backup user permissions to read the stored procedures   GRANT SELECT ON  mysql   proc  TO  lt backup user gt   lt backup host gt     My minimal set of GRANT privileges for the backup user are   GRANT USAGE ON     TO     GRANT SELECT  LOCK TABLES ON  lt target db gt    TO     GRANT SELECT ON  mysql   proc  TO

Use  -R  to backup stored procedures  but also keep in mind that if you want a consistent dump of your database while its being modified you need to use --single-transaction  if you only backup innodb  or --lock-all-tables  if you also need myisam tables
