it maybe too much work, but FirebirdDB + PHP5 allows the use of ibase_backup() & ibase_restore() - very nifty.

otherwise maybe take a look at the phpMyAdmin source for how they handle such thing -

Is there an easy way to create an HTML page that uses PHP to copy selected
MySQL tables to backup copies on the same MySQL server? I want to create an
administration page for my client to be able to "backup" their database
whenever they see fit. But, I can't give them direct access to the MySQL
server and don't want them backing up to their hard drive. I prefer to
simply copy the tables to "backup" versions on the server so that if
problems arise, I can log into the server and simply copy the "backups" to
the originals.

Thanx in advance.
