Code:
ob_start();

passthru('mysqldump -u [user] -p[password] dbname');

$out = ob_get_clean();

$fp = fopen('dump.sql','w');

fwrite($fp,$out);

Thanks cahva - this got me out of a mess.. to make download prompt the result in gz format:

Code:
$date = date("Y-m-d");

$name = $date.'-sitename.gz';

$this->load->helper('download');

force_download($name, gzencode($out));

hope that is of use to others, too.
cheers
