+1 for automysqlbackup
automysqlbackup is basically all you need... :-)
i used phpmybackup years back
Does automysqlbackup also backup files? I would like to backup the /var/www directory as well.
No, it just backs up MySQL databases.
Look at tar or rsync/rsnapshot if you want to backup files.
Simplest method:
1. tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/www/
2. Move backup.tar.gz somewhere safe

By itself, it only does SQLdumps. However, it supports pre- and post- run scripts, so you could easily add in directory backups yourself.
