Easiest way is to use crontab and mysqldump to run a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
#Use mysqldump to dump the entire Rivendell database and then gzip it with todays date mysqldump -u rduser -pletmein --compress Rivendell | gzip -c9 > /home/administrator/backups/rivendells2.`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`.gz

#Copy this to the backup server
#Copy via scp and limit it to 16000bits/sec ~= 2MB/sec
#scp line is wrapped, put on one line
scp -l 16000 /home/administrator/backups/rivendells2.`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`.gz [email protected]:/data/backups/rivendell/

You have to setup ssh keys if you want to do the backup to another server. Or you could mount a share somewhere.

Hi all

Is there a way to set the time for the daily automatic backup for the database? I have noticed that this takes place when you last did a manual back up at the same time every 24 hours.

 Depends on the tool you're using to do the backup.
