Mysql Backup To Dropbox

This script you will need to run once manually to link to your dropbox folder.
To Run
chmod 777 backupsql.sh
./backupsql.sh
Once it's confirmed working then add it to the crontab.
Dropbox uploader script originally from - https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/
You will need to alter the following in backupsql.sh

MYSQLUSERNAME="USERNAME"
MYSQLPASSWORD="PASSWORD"
BACKUPPATH="/LOCALPATH/$TIMESTAMP"
DATABASE="DATABASE NAME"
DROPBOXPATH="/PATH ON DROPBOX/"

It's set to delete files older than 5 days.
You can alter this by changing the following line:
dropbox_uploader.sh delete $DROPBOXPATH/mysql_db_backup-`date +%d-%m-%y-%H --date 'now -5 days'`.bz2
For adding to the crontab you can easily use the following site to generate how often you wish for it to run

All should be easy to work out.
