Files/MySQL backups sent as email attachment?

Is there a backup program I can set up as a cron job to backup all files, subdirectories and their contents, as well as the mysql database? I also want it to be emailed to me as a zipped attachment. Is there anything out there for this?

Thanks

 

One can be created in short time but can be very costly for server, in case you have large database and big number of files.
But script can be written witin an hour or less I guess.

zipped attachment? Do you think you can send 200MB db with mail ?

 

Well, if his server allows to do so, script can. It is all about more CPU resources that will be used for creating backup and then compressing and emailing it. I would preffer, you just receive a link to downlaod, then simpyl downlaod and remove the backup. The downlaod script itself will send yo uwhole file and delete it after done.

i there are a ton of ways to cron a backup script but usually an ftp dump is easier than an email which wont be possible for most systems maybe an email notification would be possible
