Okay, so I got it using the mysql root password as an option, but I 
find not evidence of a backup or sql file being created, unless I add 
a pipe and redirection instructions to the command. The mysqldump 
command is either putting the dump in a location I don't know about 
(and can't seem to find), or the instructions I am finding are 
seriously incomplete.

What am I doing wrong?
