Disable Binary Logging During MySQL Dump I do apologize if this has been asked before but my search skills were not able to turn up a definitive answer.

SITUATION:
I have two Windows Server 2012 R2 servers running WAMP 3.06 (which contains MySQL 5.7.14).  They are setup for replication with a master-slave configuration using binary logging.  I have a PowerShell script that makes a dump of the database each night.  The PowerShell code looks like this...

# Variables
. (Join-Path $PSSCriptRoot MySQL_Vars.ps1)

# Backup the database
cmd /C " `"$mysqlDump`" $mysqlRoutineFlags -u $mysqlUser -p`"$mysqlPass`" $mysqlDB &gt; $mysqlBkp"


QUESTION:
How could I do this so that when the MySQL dump occurs, it is not written to the binary logs?

Thank you in advance for your help!
Only "writes" go to the binlog.  A backup only does "reads".

Hence "How ... when the MySQL dump occurs, it is not written to the binary logs?" is a non-issue.

(Or, do I not understand the perceived problem??)
