For security reasons, databases and user accounts should be created by a DBA, not via a script. Privileges to drop/create users and databases should not be given to application accounts....

If fullbackday is set to anything other than the name of the day of the week or "Everyday", the current logic makes the script to incremental every time it runs....

To disable incremental/differential backups and have every run be a full backup, set `fullbackday` to `Always`

We should add a check for xtrabackup, perl-Digest-MD5, mail, etc. Maybe this should be a setup/configuration script.
