 <p>I'm not sure what are you looking for, But if you have ssh access to server, I propose to use filesystem backup or some useful tools like <a href="http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/innobackupex/innobackupex_script.html" rel="nofollow">innobackupex</a> instead of mysqldump. For big data mysqldump isn't good solution.</p>
