+# backup_mysql.sh
+#
+# by Nathan Rosenquist <nathan@rsnapshot.org>
+# http://www.rsnapshot.org/
+#
+# This is a simple shell script to backup a MySQL database with rsnapshot.
+#
+# The assumption is that this will be invoked from rsnapshot. Also, since it
+# will run unattended, the user that runs rsnapshot (probably root) should have
+# a .my.cnf file in their home directory that contains the password for the
+# MySQL root user. For example:
+#
+# /root/.my.cnf (chmod 0600)
+# [client]
+# user = root
+# password = thepassword
+# host = localhost
+#
+# This script simply needs to dump a file into the current working directory.
+# rsnapshot handles everything else.
