Backup of database

Guest
Is it a tool that can backup databases hourly as i had a backupscript before when i didnt have plesk.
I want to backup individual databases
 
You can still use the same script you did before. You can back the database up outside of plesk with no issues.
 
oki but how can i restore?

#!/bin/bash
### MySQL Server Login Info ###
MUSER="root"
MPASS="MYSQL-ROOT-PASSWORD"
MHOST="localhost"
MYSQL="$(which mysql)"
MYSQLDUMP="$(which mysqldump)"
BAK="/backup/mysql"
GZIP="$(which gzip)"
### FTP SERVER Login info ###
FTPU="FTP-SERVER-USER-NAME"
FTPP="FTP-SERVER-PASSWORD"
FTPS="FTP-SERVER-IP-ADDRESS"
NOW=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")

[ ! -d $BAK ] && mkdir -p $BAK || /bin/rm -f $BAK/*

DBS="$($MYSQL -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS -Bse 'show databases')"
for db in $DBS
do
FILE=$BAK/$db.$NOW-$(date +"%T").gz
$MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db | $GZIP -9 > $FILE
done

lftp -u $FTPU,$FTPP -e "mkdir /mysql/$NOW;cd /mysql/$NOW; mput /backup/mysql/*; quit" $FTPS
 
This is not the script we was using when i had help from a friend of mine from denmark, but this script removes old backups so how can we also make it so it keeps old backups?
