installing an auto backup process of the MySQL database that runs once a day | automysqlbackup
https://dev.to/xarala221/how-to-backup-mysql-databases-on-ubuntu-vps-server-automatically-497cThe program installs a cron script with automysqlbackup that runs every day. The backup file will be replaced every day. You should tweak these settings in a way that you will be comfortable if something happens.Have in mind that if something gets screwed up you will only have "one day" to realize that a problem exists and at least make a copy of the DB. There for consider to perform also weekly and monthly backups, depending on your routines and needs.

automysqlbackup configuracion file
# By default, the Debian version of automysqlbackup will use:# mysqldump --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
# but you might want to overwrite with a specific user & pass.
# To do this, simply edit bellow.
# Username to access the MySQL server e.g. dbuser
#USERNAME=`grep user /etc/mysql/debian.cnf | tail -n 1 | cut -d"=" -f2 | awk '{print $1}'`
# Username to access the MySQL server e.g. password
#PASSWORD=`grep password /etc/mysql/debian.cnf | tail -n 1 | cut -d"=" -f2 | awk '{print $1}'`
# Host name (or IP address) of MySQL server e.g localhost
DBHOST=localhost
# List of DBNAMES for Daily/Weekly Backup e.g. "DB1 DB2 DB3"
# Note that it's absolutely normal that the db named "mysql" is not in this
# list, as it's added later by the script. See the MDBNAMES directives below
# in this file (advanced options).
# This is ONLY a convenient default, if you don't like it, don't complain
# and write your own.
# The following is a quick hack that will find the names of the databases by
# reading the mysql folder content. Feel free to replace by something else.
# DBNAMES=`find /var/lib/mysql -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | cut -d'/' -f5 | grep -v ^mysql\$ | tr \\\r\\\n ,\ `
# This one does a list of dbs using a MySQL statement.

# Backup directory location e.g /backups
# Folders inside this one will be created (daily, weekly, etc.), and the
# subfolders will be database names. Note that backups will be owned by
