What I found dubious is that the backup copy is directly placed into the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/tmp folder. Some systems have that folder under public read/write permissions wich makes the whole copy of your database accessible by any user if you're out of luck.

I guess the author ment to use the example<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/tmp as any temporary directory usable for a backup, but please don't take this example as the best practice.
