Backing up a MySQL database is extremely simple. Just simply create a
directory as to where you want to store your backups. I typically just
dump them in /var/dbbak. You can then run the following command:
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u root -p YOUR_DB_NAME | gzip > /root/dbbak/YOUR_DB_NAME_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
If you made it this far, you should follow me on Twitter.
