Today, while still preparing for the reinstall of a more recent version of Ubuntu on my Dell Vostro, I wrote a small bash script to backup each MySQL database to a separate compressed file. I have not much experience with writing bash scripts and at first wanted to write the program in Perl. But after firing up Emacs and typing the first lines of the Perl program I had in mind I killed the buffer and wrote a bash script instead, using O'Reilly's "bash cookbook" to help me out with the features I am less familiar with.
Read the rest of Backup each MySQL database to a separate file bash script.
You're welcome, thanks!

Your script is working very well on Debian 6 and MySQL 5! Thank you a lot :)
You saved a lot of my time! :)
