I prefer to backup my databases individually, so I can restore them in order of imporatnce if necessary:

for DB in `mysql -u root -p$PW -Bse ’show databases’`
do
mysqldump -u root -p$PW $DB > $MYTMP/$DB.sql
done

Where $PW is a password set earlier in the script.

I wish I always felt comfortable enough to do backups attended, I realize the chance of problems is low but still but it has happened. In my case, backing up a forum, I put too much faith in mysqldump locking tables before running.

I just run the cPanel backup job on my server that backs up all the accounts on an external drive, not just the mySQL DB

Actually VI is easy (so is Emacs, maybe just slightly harder).

If you want a challenge try TECO ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Editor_and_Corrector ). >;-)

1) You’ve just unleashed VI on a lot of unsuspecting innocents!

2) I do not remember ever seeing a smiley icon ever used to save and exit VI before (hint: reread the post _after_ posting it).
