I was able to go into the server through the VirtualBox GUI using username and password vagrant:vagrant, then logged into mysql using the credentials `root` and `vault_mysql_root_password` contained in `host_vars/development/vault.yml`:

`mysql -uroot -p`

Then within MySql: `list databases;`. Leave `mysql` by pressing CTRL-C (I think) and then:

`mysqldump -uroot -p name_of_database_you_recognized_in_above_command > database_backup.sql`

Then I went back to my computer (having to use Option + Command + Escape to get out of the VirtualBox VM window) and got my local IP address. You can just google IP address. I used `ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'` so I could feel cool. Now back to the VM:

`rsync -avP database_backup.sql mikekilmer@my-ip-address:Documents/`

And it’s now in `~/Documents`.

Unfortunately now I’m getting [failed provisioning on Wordpress Install](https://discourse.roots.io/t/provision-fails-on-install-dependencies-with-composer-task/5741/8).

`failed: [default] (item={'value': {u'multisite': {u'enabled': False}, u'cache': {u'enabled': False}, u'ssl': {u'enabled': False, u'provider': u'self-signed'}, u'local_path': u'../site', u'site_hosts': [u'blablabla.dev'], u'admin_email': u'mike@mzoo.org'}, 'key': u'blablabla.dev'}) => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["composer", "install"], "delta": "0:00:00.101408", "end": "2016-07-13 12:44:20.743464", "failed": true, "item": {"key": "blablabla.dev", "value": {"admin_email": "mike@mzoo.org", "cache": {"enabled": false}, "local_path": "../site", "multisite": {"enabled": false}, "site_hosts": ["blablabla.dev"], "ssl": {"enabled": false, "provider": "self-signed"}}}, "rc": 1, "start": "2016-07-13 12:44:20.642056", "stderr": "You are running composer with xdebug enabled.

I was hoping to avoid “nuke the entire dir and your hosts file”, but that may end up being necessary. Which directory are you actually referring to, just Trellis, Trellis _and_ Bedrock or something else? I would think either way I would keep the host\_vars/production directory which is hopefully still working.
