backupscript of mysql to e-mail

« on: December 31, 2006, 03:44:14 PM »

But i cant get this to work
Is it possible?

#!/bin/sh

# This script will backup one or more mySQL databases
# and then optionally email them and/or FTP them

# This script will create a different backup file for each database by day of the week
# i.e. 1-dbname1.sql.gz for database=dbname1 on Monday (day=1)
# This is a trick so that you never have more than 7 days worth of backups on your FTP server.
# as the weeks rotate, the files from the same day of the prev week are overwritten.
