    	Additional parameters that will be appended to mysqldump command
  -tablethreshold int
    	Do not split mysqldumps, if rowcount of table is less than dbthreshold value for table (default 5000000)      
  -batchsize int
    	Split mysqldumps in order to get each file contains batchsize number of records (default 1000000)

    	Absolute path for mysqldump executable. (default "/usr/bin/mysqldump")
  -output-dir string
    	Default is the value of os.Getwd(). The backup files will be placed to output-dir {DATE/{DATABASE_NAME}/{DATABASE_NAME}_{TABLENAME|SCHEMA|DATA|ALL}_{TIMESTAMP}.sql
  -daily-rotation int
    	Number of days of retention (default 5)   	
  -weekly-rotation int
    	Number of weeks of retention (default 2)

  -test
    	test

Rotation folders structure

mysqldump-path / daily|weekly|monthly / XXXX-XX-XX / {DATABASE_NAME}-XXXX-XX-XX / {DATABASE_NAME}{TABLENAME|SCHEMA|DATA|ALL}{TIMESTAMP}.tar.gz
