# Backup each mysql databases into a different file, rather than one big file
# Optionally files can be gzipped (dbname.gz)
#
# Usage: dump_all_databases [ -u username -o output_dir -z ]
#
#	-u username to connect mysql server
#	-o [output_dir] optional the output directory where to put the files
#	-z gzip enabled
#
# Note: The script will prompt for a password, you cannot specify it as command line argument for security reasons
#
