Mysql - Need Help with creating a Cron Job

Hello Guys.

I really need some help creating a cron job.

I want to back up my mySQL database, which runs a phpBB Forum.

I need the backup to run every 6 hours - but the host can make it run every 6 hours.

I need it to backup to a directory called Backups (on the root) and i dont want it to overwrite the last backup - so if they could be called backup(date/Time), backup(date/Time) that would be great.

Can anyone help me - i know basic MYSQL etc, but not too good with it, so I would really appreciate the help.

Cheers
