Seems somebody forgot to add the prefix code to the mysql dump. Just add it as below

    //
    // The name of our final db file.
    // This includes a random number to keep attackers from guessing
    // the filename.
    //
    $db_file = "drupal-backup-db-" . $date_string
        . "-" . mt_rand(0, 999999999) . ".sql.gz";

    //
    // Pre-pend our prefix if it's present.
    //
    if (!empty($prefix_dir)) {
        $db_file = $prefix_dir . "/" . $db_file;
    }

I think this is fixed in 4.x - I had this problem with 3 but now not with 4...
