Code igniter mysql backup fails with large databases -- any alternatives besides mysqldump?

I know that mysqldump will always work, but my users are not technically inclined enough to use it. Which is why $backup =& $this->dbutil->backup(); has been so great! As the database grows it size the backup will eventually fail. PHPMYAdmin can seem to do larger databases than codeiniter's backup solution.

I have been looking all over for a simple and free solution that can at least do 30 mb databases. I would be grateful for any solutions that you may have come across

I've had much luck using this little guy: http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/

Make sure you read over the notes page: http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/usage/ to double check this will work for your solution.
