Automatically Backup MySQL database on linux server

Question

I need a script that automatically makes a backup of a MySql Database. I know there are a lot of posts and scripts out there on this topic already but here is where mine differs

Answer 1

My preference is for AutoMySQLBackup which comes with Debian. It's really easy and creates daily backups, which can be configured. As well, it stores on weekly and then one monthly backup as well.

I have had this running for a while and it's super easy to configure and use!
