`

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","uname","pswrd");
$qry="show databases";
$rs=mysql_query($qry); 
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($rs,MYSQL_BOTH))
{
    if($row[Database]!="information_schema")
      {
        if($row[Database]!="mysql")
         {
                $fname1="/Your/Destination/Folder/".$row[Database].".sql.gz"; echo $fname1."<br>";
                    $efg   =@unlink($fname1);
                $command1 = "mysqldump --opt -uroot -proot -h localhost ".$row[Database]." | gzip>".$fname1;
            $rs_Sys1=system($command1);
            chmod($fname1,0777);

         }
     }
}


?>

` Run this program to get the sql backup and if you want to get the backup on a regular basis like daily/weekly, assign this program to cron (cron is a time-based job scheduler).
