MySQL Backup Question

I have two MySQL backup questions:


(1) Is there a way to do an incremental MySQL backup, specifically where each database is it's own .SQL file?

I know you can do an incremental backup and I know you can backup each to it's own .sql, but both together?



(2) How can this be modified to work for RHE3? I found this script and it looks like a decent mysql backup script if the above question isn't possible.

#!/bin/sh
# mysqlback.sh -- do mysql database dumps -- t|<evans
