To get Automysqlbackup working on one of my accounts here is what I did:

- Dump the file (automysqlbackup.sh) into the root, not the web root. That would not be wise.
- Set the permissions to 744. By default it is probably 644.
- Set the owner and group being the account/username. (You shouldn’t have to do this.)
- Create a backup directory in the root or the www root if you want access to them via http.
- Edit the mysql stuff and set BACKUPDIR. It should look something like “/home/[account name]/backups” or “/home/[account name]/backups/public_html”
- Setup the email stuff if you want it mailed.
- Create a cron job. The command should be similar to this”/home/[account name]/automysqlbackup.sh.2.5″.

Note: the dedicated servers have a backup utility in WHM that will FTP all your goods. Pretty handy,
