[aklug] Remote backup of MySQL database

It's been a few years since I worked much with MySQL, but is there a
handy (open-source) tool these days for remote backup of a single MySQL
database? IIRC, mysqldump would do the trick, but it seems on my
distribution that you have to install the whole bloody MySQL server just
to get that program. Googling brought up some scripts where you do the
dump on the remote server, and then copy the file over to your machine,
but that is a bit less elegant than I would prefer.
