You can use script bellow, hope it will help you:

$this->load->dbutil();

        $prefs = array(     
                'format'      => 'zip',             
                'filename'    => 'my_backup.sql'
              );


        $backup =& $this->dbutil->backup($prefs); 

        $db_name = 'backup-'. date("Y-m-d-H-i-s") .'.zip';
        $save = 'path_to_file/'.$db_name;

        $this->load->helper('file');
        write_file($save, $backup); 


        $this->load->helper('download');
        force_download($db_name, $backup);
