Linux Cron Backup Files and SQL

Small note on commands I used for a simple web-account cron backup script.

Bash script for e.g. cron.weekly:

#!/bin/sh

# Backup of web files.
tar zcfp /var/www/userdomain.me/weekly-backup/FILES.tar.gz -C / var/www/userdomain.me/web

# Backup of database.
mysqldump --user=username --password=password DatabaseName | gzip > /var/www/userdomain.me/weekly-backup/DATABASE.sql.gz
