Yeah, that's what my host will do when he automates the backup process.

I wrote a PHP script based on phpMyAdmin that automates it and outputs
the result. (Basically, I set global variables and included Export.php
at the end. I also changed Export.php a bit so that it will ouput the
raw file as opposed to HTML.) I'll send it to anyone who want's it.
(It doesn't include any server-specific data, but you'll have to set
up your config file first).
