MySQL BackUp

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi ALL

I would like to know the following

1) if i would like to take mysql incremental backup weekly

cp /var/lib/mysql/ /backup/mysqlbak/

how can i do it by above command as i would like to run cron weekly
for take mysql backup.

i would like to take backup using cp command only as we have more then
1000 databases on one server.

IS THERE ANY BETTER WAY TO DO THIS

Thanks and Regards
