Необходимые понятия:
db_name - название сохраняемой базы данных. backupdir - папка на сервере для сохранения локальной копии файла. user_name - mysql логин (обычно root). pass_here - mysql пароль.
Ниже приведен код скрипта для автоматического сохранения баз данных на ftp сервер и email.
#!/bin/sh
# This script will backup one or more mySQL databases
# and then optionally email them and/or FTP them
# This script will create a different backup file for each database by day of the week
# i.e. 1-dbname1.sql.gz for database=dbname1 on Monday (day=1)
# This is a trick so that you never have more than 7 days worth of backups on your FTP server.
# as the weeks rotate, the files from the same day of the prev week are overwritten.
