I have also posted the MySQL backup script that I use. Set the variables needed in the script and then create a dblist.txt with the names of each database to backup (one per line). I cron this to run each evening on my servers. Note: I am not the original author and I can't remember who to credit. If you know, let me know.
#!/bin/bash
# Backup mysql databases
# Set a value that we can use for a datestamp
DATE=date +%Y-%m-%d
# Our Base backup directory
BASEBACKUP="/folder/to/store/mysql/backups"
for DATABASE in cat dblist.txt
do
# This is where we throw our backups.
FILEDIR="$BASEBACKUP/$DATABASE"
# Test to see if our backup directory exists.
# If not, create it.
if [ ! -d $FILEDIR ]
then
mkdir -p $FILEDIR
fi
echo -n "Exporting database: $DATABASE"
mysqldump --host=localhost --user='YourMySQLUser' --password='YourMySQLPW' --opt $DATABASE | gzip -c -9 > $FILEDIR/$DATABASE-$DATE.sql.gz
echo " ......[ Done ] "
done
# AutoPrune our backups. This will find all files
# that are "MaxFileAge" days old and delete them.
MaxFileAge=30
find $BASEBACKUP -name '*.gz' -type f -mtime +$MaxFileAge -exec rm -f {} \;
