Yes you can use your Gmail account to backup your MySQL database. All you need is this backupDB() PHP script that backs up MySQL tables and databases to a gzip'd file for easy daily backup. Can back up a single database and/or table, or all tables. Structure-only, complete-inserts optional. Can be called interactively or run as a cron job.
Download this file:

  • download backupDB.zip v1.2.3 [22.6 kB]
    HTTP | ed2k
    (first released Jan 17 2002 - updated Sep 13 2006)
These files is just available so you can browse the source online - download the zip package above to run this script

If you think that email account is not secure enough, you can change one line of code and make backupDB.php send generated backup file to FTP server:

copy($backupabsolutepath.$fullbackupfilename, "ftp://user:pass@xxx.xxx.xxx:port/$fullbackupfilename");

This line of code works only if you have fopen ftp wrapper enabled (if it isn't you can use PHP FTP functions)
