[thelist] MySQL Backup

[Chris]

Hey,

I am currently working on a project that has a requirement for automated
backups of a MySQL database. I figured the best way to do this was via a
crontab which executes a script (php or other) that backs up the database.

I could more than likely code this myself, but the phrase 'why reinvent the
wheel' comes to mind. So I was wondering if anyone has come across a script
that can accomplish what I am after.

Thanks,
Chris
