 * The environment is IIS 8, Windows 2012
 * The MySql server is installed in the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Whatever method
   is used to get this path produces this text in the $command string:
 * “Program Files ^(x86^)”
 * Which makes the command fail due to the additional ^ characters. I’ve had to 
   add this in the execute_backup function:
 * $command = str_replace(“^(x86^)”, “(x86)”, $command);
