The MySQLfile will be created in the folder you are in when performing the command.
The program installs a cron script with automysqlbackup that runs every day. The backup file will be replaced every day. You should tweak these settings in a way that you will be comfortable if something happens.Have in mind that if something gets screwed up you will only have "one day" to realize that a problem exists and at least make a copy of the DB. There for consider to perform also weekly and monthly backups, depending on your routines and needs.
