WP Plugin: Automatic Backup

[TheUltimate]

Is there anywhere I can find a wp plugin that automatically backs up mysql database on a preset schedule?

If you don't mind using a cron you could just put this in your crontab on the desired schedule.

mysqldump -uusername -ppassword wordpress_db_name > wordpress_backup_`date '+%y%m%d'`.sql

would work just as well as any plugin and easier.

what location does this save it to? public_html root folder?

Depends on your system. It would be better to put an absolute path at the end and on the mysqldump command before putting it into production use.
