Check backup user permissions

If you are using a specific MySQL user for regular database backups, you will need to ensure this backup user has the SHOW VIEW permission, otherwise the backup could fail.

To add the permissions, log into the MySQL command line as root user and run the following (adjusting database and user name as appropriate):

grant SHOW VIEW on *.oppia to 'backup'@'localhost';
