Hi Marc,

Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge in Shell Scripting as this is perfectly working fine.

At my first try, i got two errors stating that the "which mysql" and "which mysqldump" are not found. So basically, I manually edit the 2 lines and instead i put the real path of those two commands. I am using LAMPP by the way.

I also put it in my Cron.hourly and tested it works fine. I also checked my FTP Directory and it works fine.

I am also in root privilege. 

I am using Fedora 6 and I am behind a firewall/proxy but no problem was found.

Once again, thanks for this great script. Hope more people will enjoy using this script.
