MySQL Backup does not work when using sockets.

[spaceemotion]

Today, I discovered that the scheduled backups I had on a client's project weren't working quite as intended. Digging through the files, I found the cause of the problem:

mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) when trying to connect

It seems like the backup script does not pick up the socket configuration I have in my config/database.php:

['unix_socket' => '/tmp/mysql5.sock']

Fixing this would be much appreciated! Thanks for this wonderful package :)

This is solved in version 2.2.0
