I ran across this script after learning how to set up cron jobs, but this is really cool. What amazes me about this is the lack of info about it in webland. I couldn't find a thread about it here either. It's been around quite a while. Anyway, It's easy to set up and works like a charm. It's also free.
This, from the site:
Major features:
- backup of one or several databases with or without data, table structure, ...
- three types of compression (no compression, gzip or zip)
- scheduled backups (by a small PHP script which must be included in an existing PHP script)
- interface for managment of the backups (viewing, restoring, downloading, deleting)
- backup directly onto FTP server and sending of backups by email
- platform independent - only webserver and PHP needed to run e.g. on MS Windows, Linux or Mac
- shell mode (to use manually or by cron script)
- backup of whole file directories (on a FTP server).
- backup databases from different accounts on several MySQL servers
- one installation can be used for all MySQL users of one MySQL server (used by webhosters)
- highest security through two alternative login methods (HTTP or HTML authentication)
- easy to use interface and very easy to install
- several language packages available
- online help (included in pMBP) and FAQ on this website
The link:

I think for some, it can be a little tricky, but for most, especially here, it's pretty easy. If anybody here tries it and runs into any problems, I would be glad to share, at least what I know, here in this thread.
