i found another awesome little tool today.
AutoMySQLBackup allows you to back up all of your databases on the fly. it’s fully customizable (you can select only to back up certain databases, or just use “all” to backup all databases) and you can get email results or the entire backup emailed to you via attachment.
this little utility makes me very happy. i’ve seen so many backup tools but nothing has been as usable and as versatile as this.
