I have used mysqldumper too,... and yes it is quite nice.
But this mod conveniently performs the backup service automatically , replaces older files by your discretion settings, and stores them in a non-public fashion ready for you to ftp off site at your convenience. All within the vb cron mechanism.
I prefer to use mysql to perform my restores directly.
It is a nice bundling of backup service when using vb. Perfect for my forum.
