Automate, or schedule Mysql backups from within the store. Option to copy / save to user defined location, so it could be off site very easily.
we already have this feature on the software to save / backup the database.

I know that, but not as a sheduled task or the ability to automate.

That would have to be done with a cron job, as the store itself wouldn’t have any active way to do that.
Also, I believe I read somewhere that you are using a Win2003 server, cron job is for unix machines. For Win2003, you need to set up a scheduler job to do that, also not a cart feature.
how would I go about that as if I use the URl, it a) asks me to login and B) asks me to confirm. Maybe I should Use MYSQL admin to do that?

Yes it would be external to the cart. Googling for “automated mysql backup on windows” found this program:

that seems to do what you want it to do.
and another slightly more complex:
