Thread: Cron Job for Auto Backup?

I need some help, I am trying to make it so that I can create a cron job to take a backup of my MySQL database and then email it to a particular email. Can someone help me with the code for the cron Job. Thank you. :3083:

It's easy ... write a small PHP file where you perform 2 actions:

1. Run mysqldump to create a backup of your database
2. Mail the backup file to you email account using mail() function.

I think Zap had something such as this.
