    You are welcome.

    For a more robust backup solution, you can steal code from webmin - their mysql backup routines are implemented in perl, and run via the command line.

    Webmin also has a web GUI for configuring scheduled mysql backups as well as on-demand. Included are fun features like e-mail notification !
