The argument for a full backup is -A... do mysqldump --help.
Thanks, my another problem is how to make sure backup file is proper or not.
I userd the command to take backup us mysqldump -A -p --password=***** >back.sql
backup.sql file created but file having lot of junk character. How to make sure?

Here is a way to email a backup using bash, perl, and crontab.
mysqlbackup
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mysqldump -uroot -ppwd --opt db1 > /sqldata/db1.sql
mysqldump -uroot -ppwd --opt db2 > /sqldata/db2.sql
cd /sqldata/
tar -zcvf sqldata.tgz *.sql
cd /scripts/
perl emailsql.cgi
Use perl to send a MIME email.
emailsql.cgi
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MIME::Lite;
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => 'mysqlbackup@yoursite.com',
To => 'you@yoursite.com',
Subject => 'sqldata.tgz MySQL backup!',
Type => 'text/plain',
Data => "Hi You,\n MySQL database backups.");
$msg->attach(Type=>'application/x-tar',
Path =>"/sqldata/sqldata.tgz",
Filename =>"sqldata.tgz");
$msg->send;
Use crontab -e to edit your schedule to run at 2 am every day.
