If I do the data backup on the slave, I'll have to attach another EBS volume to the slave server. I can't ftp the daily data dumps to the existing EBS volume because they're both in different regions and hence would lead to substantial data transfer costs.(Both master and slave are on AWS)I tried the script yesterday on a test server, and its been working really great. I love the email notification feature ! Thanks a ton ! Thanks Marius, that answers my concern :)

But even if you want to run it on the master for some strange reason, there is no reason to stop the slave. The slave will replicate only writes and not read commands (like the mysqldump for ex.) @Amit Shanker: people usually run backups on their slaves to not locke the master db.

I want to setup this backup mechanism on the master and not the slave. In such a scenario, do I need to stop the slave before running this script ? I'm not mysql guru, but wouldn't the slave try to replicate the mysqldump command if I run this script on master ? I have a mysql db replication setup.

However, when I don't have permissions to run the mysqldump command (like in shared enviroments) I use MySQLBackupFTP (http://mysqlbackupftp.com). This tool connects to MySQL through phpMyAdmin so you don't need admin privileges on the server. The tool is not free, but it has a free version with good features like file compression,ftp,email notification, and support backup schedule for two databases.

I was able to take backups of the DB by using both the cron expressions in crontab as well as in cron.daily. It was a great help.
