I run a nightly dump as root:
mysqldump --opt rt3 -u root -p > rt3.sql
(assuming the root user can perform that dump)
Then scp the file to another system.
Since the rest of the system doesn't change much, I don't bother with much of
anything else. I have a snapshot of the whole system (my RTs are VMs under
VirtualBox, so they're easy to backup (single file)).
