In case you are using simply CRM bundled installation, mysqldump is available under simply “C:Program Filessimplycrm-x.y.zbin” folder.

The other option simply Backup Server, refer: https://wiki.simplyhq.com/index.php/Backup_Server

How to take the storage folder

Storage folder will be located in the main directory of simply CRM

Where can I find the database credentials

Refer config.inc.php in simply CRM source directory.

Why do i still see duplicate records after the migration to On Demand?

Migration process doesn’t modify the records that are present in the database. If duplicates are present before the migration, they will exist after the migration is completed.

Why do I see lock tables error while taking dump?

mysqldump: Got error: 29: File ‘./db/table_1001269.MYD’ not found (Errcode: 24) when using LOCK TABLES

You can take database dump with (–skip-lock-tables option).

mysqldump databasename -u username -p password -P portnumber –skip-lock-tables > database.sql
