I’ll be making a backup of a MySQL database, I’ll be using Webmin to create the backup, but after that I need to transfer the backup to another location, not just a logical location, or simply from one server to another... from the server to a remote computer in another country with a shared drive. The Server is running RedHat 7.3 and the target shared drive is a shared folder in a windows XP machine, given user permissions are right, what are my options to perform this task automatically? Perhaps I can use a cron job to do this task, but in the MySQL Database section of Webmin, I can set a command to run after the backup is complete, what would be the syntax I need to use there to move it to the shared drive and delete the backup from the server after the transfer if complete?

Also, I like to know if I can backup straight to the remote location that would be best, since I don’t have enough space to backup everything at once.
