backup cron?

**GamingHybrid** · April 12th, 2006, 9:56 PM

Hello,

I have limited knowledge of crons, that knowledge is that thye can perform actions on a schedruled basis. What I want to do is have one cron backup a specified database on a specified schedruled. I can set the times via cPanel, but have no clue on what command line to go by.

Incase your lost, this is what the cron should do. Everyday at XX:XX XX, the cron will create a sql backup of the gamingh_db and store it in the /home/gamingh/ directory (that way it is out of the public).

Thanks for your help in advance!
