The simplest approach is with mysqldump (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysqldump.html). If you want something better and are on a Linux environment, take a look at Percona Xtrabackup (http://www.percona.com/software/percona-xtrabackup/).

As for the automation, it depends on which operating system you are using. If you are on some flavor of Linux, you may use cron. If you are on Windows, create a batch script and schedule it with the task scheduler.
