Check your database configuration for sql login details.
Probably the password is written in my.cnf file under user or globally in /etc/my.conf
I found this info online, i'm more of a postgresql user so take this with a grain of salt.
As for other directories, why would you want to use mysql backup script to backup /var /etc/ or similar ?
If you want to backup other things, write a new script, leave mysql backup script to do what is has been written for.
Hope that helps

Peasant.

backup-manager-purge
BACKUP-MANAGER-PURGE(8) backup-manager-purge BACKUP-MANAGER-PURGE(8)
NAME
backup-manager-purge - backup-manager's wrapper for outdating files
SYNOPSIS
backup-manager-purge [TTL] <options>
DESCRIPTION
backup-manager-purge is the only authorized entity that can say if an archive should be purged or not. Any tasks used by backup-manager may
have to know if an archive is deprecated (eg: the purging phase of an upload method). This tool is here to fulfill that need.
Given a time to live (TTL) and a list of archives, backup-manager-purge will return another list of archives, corresponding to the ones
that are outdated by the TTL.
REQUIRED ARGS
--ttl=time-to-live
Specify the time to live (in days) for the archives. Any archive that is older than ttl days will be outdated.
OPTIONAL ARGS
--files-from=file
A file containing a list of archives to parse, one archive per line. If this option is not used, STDIN will be used for catching the
files to parse.
RETURN
backup-manager-purge will return the list of outdated files on STDOUT, one file per line.
ERROR CODES
If an error occurs, it will print the error message on stderr and will exit with an error code greater than 0.
Here are the possible error codes:
bad command line (wrong arguments) : 10
internal error (should be reported as a bug) : 20
