MySQL backup - cron job but also logs

What is the best way to backup a MySQL database which has 24 hours access to clients.

 

With ms SQL I have setup maintenance plans that do a full backup every night and creates logs every hour.

 

This would allow me to restore database Up to a certain point and could even look at the logs and use them to rebuilt to that point in time if I needed to.

 

I need to do this on a MySQL server and I know you can use mysqldump but how can I get it to backup nightly and create logs ever hour?

 

Any good software for setting these up, on a windows environment.
