If you have a webserver with PHP I'd suggest MySqlDumper

It supports:

  • Automatic backups
  • Emails backups
  • Compresses backups
  • Rotates backups
  • etc.

ATM scheduled backups are not plannned in Workbench: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50074

At the same time Workbench is designed to have powerful scripting shell, so you can try to investigate what commands can be used for backup and call them directly from shell. (But I agree this is too general idea):

Mysql bench is not required for automatic backup,
setup a crontab and use mysqldump (or equivalent) will do the same job and is easier.

example:

crontab -e

/* backup every day at 00:00:00 */
0 0 * * * mysqldump -u root -ppassword YOUR_DATABASE > /backup/YOUR_DATABASE.sql
