[Tinymux] Auto-Backup Script?

[Steven Holland]

The @backup command from within MUX itself executes a script (whose name 
escapes me at the moment) in the game directory. The default backup script 
simply copies off the database to a flatfile, but you can edit it to do 
other things, like the afforementioned mailing. Once that's done, @daily 
me=@backup

This only works in *nix though, not Win32.
