How to write backup application for MySQL?

[He HongFu]

Hi:

	I want to write a backup application which want to provide a plugin to back up and restore MySQL database. Does MySQL++ provides a way to implement it? As far as I known, users always uses the built-in tools of MySQL mysqldump, mysqlhotcopy to implement the backup job. But I want to use built-in APIs to implement it directly. Is it possible?

	Thanks in advance!
