  mydbackup.php is a utility which can be used to backup a MySQL
  database.  It requires PHP and of course, MySQL.  It can be
  used with crontab to automate a backup. For instance, the 
  following will run every Sunday at midnight.
  
  Edit the crontab, type:
    [foo@bar]$ crontab -e
    
  Insert the following line:
    0 0 * * 0 php -f /path/to/mydbackup.php
  
  If you are on a shared webhosting service, you probably need 
  to add to the crontab using Webmin or Cpanel.  This can also
  be loaded into a browser to run manually, or included into
  another PHP file.
