Backing up MySQL db with Coldfusion

Question

I want to make a backup task in Coldfusion (possibly in a scheduled task) that will support the structure and data in the MySql database.

The hosting server that I use always blocks the use of cfexecute for security purposes, so I can not use mysqldump.

eg.

<cfexecute name="c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 4.1\bin\mysqldump"
 arguments="--user=xxx --password=yyy dharma" 
 outputfile="#expandPath("./ao.sql")#" timeout="30"/>

Are there any other options available to me?
