Rails - Jul 2006 - How to get the whole mysql dump from the UI

Wordpress has a utility using which the admin can take the whole mysql dump
in a nice manner from the UI.

I was wondering if something like that is already available as a plugin or
something. If not how do I invoke ''mysqldump'' from the UI
using the regular
ruby code?

Thanks.
