Schedule a backup

Could someone please describe how to accomplish the following, or put some links to the right information?

In order to remotely do anything with the databases on the server I must first VPN to it. I use ShrewSoft VPN Client. Once VPN'd I use MYSQL Workbench to export the databases to my local client (Windows 8.1). Currently I do this manually, and not often enough.

There is limited free space on the server so I can't really set anything up on it to push the data. Also it's a remotely hosted vm in the cloud somewhere. I would rather set something up locally and pull the data.

What do I need to do to have this happen at 3am every day?

I don't want to leave it VPN'd in, so the scheduled task needs to connect the VPN, run the export, then disconnect the VPN.

Thanks for any help.
