What do you mean when you say "clean up the textfiles"? I know about mysqldump but where do i dump it too? Do i save the dumped db after the clone is completed on the freshly made clone? Remember that i´m doing smart updates each night with a schedule so i have to make this work without me manually stopping or dumping the db. As you hear i´m a bit lost here, heh. I have been looking at bakbones solution and they have special MySQL plugins, they of course know how to charge for them too but i would be glad to pay for a script doing this.
