Backup all mysql databases to separate archives, each table in separate file.

mysql-backup-all.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Backup all databases to separate archives.
#    1. Each table is dumped into separate *.sql file.
#    2. Each view is dumped into separate file with DEFINER=CURRENT_USER.
#    3. All routines are dumped into routines-dbname.sql,
#    4. All files are added to archive dbname.7z, compressed with 7-zip, max compression.
#
# Usage: mysqlback.sh /output/directory
