/usr/bin/mysqldump --user={Database User} --password={Database Password} --all-databases| gzip > /var/www/mysqldump.date +%H:%M.sql.gz

Then I rsync it and all the other files in /var/www/ to another VPS and my home computer.

Another script saves daily tar.gz's of the /var/www/ directory for me on the backup system and my home computer.

I usually do a backup via the backup wizard in my cPanel.

I would much prefer it automatic too, I even asked my host a while back and they said:

Quote:We do backups daily anyway, but there isn't a way of you automating it yourself i'm afraid.

Well they lied because rsync is a pretty standard backup option in the web world.

I do a full backup from cpanel and mysql dump from mybb is that correct
