Backup User

[Jim McAtee]

Is it recommended to create a MySQL user for doing backups?  Running 
mysqldump from a script, the username and password will have to be 
embedded in plain text.

If I were to create a MySQL user expressly for doing nightly backups what 
are the minimum permissions needed?
