For some old MT accounts that used to be (ss), the main db user isn't necessarily 'dbxxxx', it could be the original main MySQL account username.

I get a "permission denied" error... not sure what permissions to change, any suggestions? SSH is enabled.

Clint,
Not sure if you figured it out, but basically what you want to do is make sure that the line-endings are in the Unix-friendly 'LF' format.

That's what fixed it for me.

Also, another issue I found with the script that I fixed was the path. It kept giving me a 'file or folder cannot be found' error. All I did was change the XXXXX from my gridserver/account number to my primary domain name. It seems that MediaTemple has both stored - I guess the gridserver number works for some clients, but for me only the primary domain worked.

Hope that works for you.

I second Clint's error.

That's what I keep getting.

Thanks for this. I followed directions, but I keep getting this error when I try to test:

./db_backup.sh
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If I try "bash db_backup.sh" I get this error:
: command not found6:
'b_backup.sh: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'b_backup.sh: line 8: `do

Any suggestions? I can't wait to get this working. Thanks again.

You might be able to make this a bit sweeter. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to know the names of all your databases. Perhaps changing line 7 to this instead:

for DATABASE in `mysqlshow -udbXXXXX -pPASSWORD -h internal-db.sXXXXX.gridserv... | grep '^|'|grep -v Databases | cut -f 2 -d ' '`

No guarantees but that might work.
