The only problem with the mysqldump command is that you need privileges to execute this command on the server. I had this problem before in a shared enviroment and I found this tool: MySQLBackupFTP (http://mysqlbackupftp.com). It has a free version that allows you to connect to MySQL through phpMyAdmin so you don’t need admin access to the server. I hope this help others with the same problem.

What does the -h command do? I have been trying to figure it out and I don’t know what it does in the command line. See, like on this tutorial they do it: http://www.fortasse.com/tutorials/mysqldump-mysql-database-backup/

But on others they don’t… Anyone know?

Restoring a dump table into the MySQL master server can lead to serious replication delay.
To overcome the replication delay, caused by restoring the dump table on the master, there is a need to widespread the massive inserts. This can be done by the MySQL SLEEP command.
See As restoring a dump table into the MySQL master – you better get some sleep

You should take a look at this instead:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/

I just installed it and it works as a charm , Just what I was looking for!

This script is even in the ubuntu repositories! Just use:
apt-get install automysqlbackup
