MythTV and database backup?

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Hello,
For fellow MythTV users on FreeBSD:
What are you using for backup of the MythTV database?

For my current backend, I only do manual db backups (I've been lucky so
far). But when MythTV 0.22 comes to FreeBSd, I wil try to build / set
up a better backend.

MythTV have "official" backup and restore scripts[1], I haven't (yet)
tried those.
I see that there is mysqlbackup[2] in ports, but perhaps there is other solutions too?
What are people using?

I'm using mysqldump in a daily cronjob and worked fine so far.
