Clarified my main priority at the bottom, so this question is clearly differentiated from a possible duplicate

Aug 15, 2016 at 10:41 comment added Izzy Exactly what I do with my databases. For bigger systems, I do the dump schema-wise (walking the output of mysql -u root mysql -e "show databases;" line by line and perform a mysqldump -u root --lock-tables --allow-keywords $line >${line}.sql). Easily done, and one ends up with one .sql file per database :)
Aug 15, 2016 at 1:40 comment added 00dani mysqldump is reasonably straightforward, yes, but it's necessary to perform an explicit data dump to produce a backup-able file rather than the default storage being in a backup-able format. Could be set up as a cron job, I suppose.
Aug 12, 2016 at 6:43 comment added Izzy Not easy to backup? mysqldump with locking all tables (for a consistent dump) is quite easy IMHO. As for sync, I've never tried to sync two MySQL databases. If you rather meant apps: there are clients for different OSes which directly talk to the server.

Aug 11, 2016 at 21:57 comment added 00dani @Izzy Hmm. I'll give Paperwork a try, but looking at the install instructions I'm wary, because it seems Paperwork stores note data in a MySQL database. This is technically an open format since MySQL (or more likely in my case, MariaDB!) is open, but notes stored under Paperwork's own database schema won't be especially amenable to access from software other than Paperwork itself, and SQL database files aren't particularly easy to sync or backup.

Aug 11, 2016 at 6:07 comment added Izzy Not tried myself, but Paperwork might be what you're looking for. It's definitely open source, and describes itself as OpenSource note-taking & archiving alternative to Evernote, Microsoft OneNote & Google Keep.
