Hey Hey Hey!!!
That depends on what system your running!?!?!?
I run LinuxPPC and use 3 ways
1. Bru Tape back system
2. At 12:00 AM the shell script runs and copies the files..
3. Once a month I manually copy the files to a zip.

a cron tab):
--- Starting of the script
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Starting...\n";
### Some variables
$BASEDIR = "/home/backup";
$dump_path = "/usr/bin/mysqldump";
$date_path = "/bin/date"; # path to "date"
$date_format = "
