# This script opens a connection to a database and loops through each table
# generating a mysqldump and then bzipping and pushing the file to a remote
# backup server.  An optional email is sent when the job is finished.

# Needs to be run as root to be affective
#
# Usage:  ./dbdump.py -c /path/to/config.cfg
