MySQL backup and restore tool built in Ruby.

This isn't a problem that Ruby should solve.
If you need to do it every 1-2 days, create a cron job that runs a backup script that calls a tool such as mysqldump directly.

Personally, I think the idea of using Ruby makes sense, in a lot of ways.
- For an automated backup process, speed isn't that big an issue.
- For access to a database, you can still invoke MySQL (and it's a good idea to do so)
- But Ruby's DSL capabilities invite the construction of "backup language" that can be used to write a backup script that can, for example, copy the same structure to multiple locations, at a time you specify, all in a way that is both human-readable and executable. A script written with a reasonable Domain-Specific Language would be both easy to read and easy to modify later.
That is Ruby's strength (and the reason I'm here :__) As I contemplate just such a DSL, I'm trying to see if anyone has beaten me to it. (Surprisingly, nothing has immediately leaped out of the bushes...)
