Cron MySQL Backup to FTP and Email

Many of us have experienced it. One day, something happens and you lose your databases or end up with corrupted ones. This is something that happened to me, and something that compelled me to write a powerful script to make sure I'll be safe if it happens again. This shell script backs up selected DBs or all of them, and emails them to as many email addresses as you want (redundant, huh?). You can also easy FTP the files over to another server for maximum redundancy. The files are also backed up to a local directory, and older files can be deleted with this script. Just enter how many days of backups you want to keep and backups older than that will be removed. Great if you have limited server space or don't want to keep old files. Let me know if anything else can be added!
