guess I arrived too late..... :!:
here\'s something for the huge mysql backups that can easily be done using your webbrowser.
copy this coding and call it dump.php
<?php
include (\"YourConfigFile.php\");
$output=system(\"mysqldump -u \".$db_user.\" -p\".$db_pass.\" \".$db_dbname.\" --opt > NameOfFilebackup.sql\");
header(\"Location: NameOfFilebackup.sql\")
?>
create a blank file: NameOfFilebackup.sql
chmod it to 777
change to your specs: $db_user, $db_pass, $db_dbname
call dump.php in your browser and when it is complete you will have
your table/data imported into the file NameOfFilebackup.sql
