Do note: judging from the first few lines, it looks like the script is set up to save the database backup on a "web-accessible" place (based on the fact it provides a download link).
Keep in mind that having the database backed up in a web-accessible location is a security risk for both you and your users.
That said, if you put the script in a directory that is not accessible from an http url, then you are fine.

Sorry for the offtopic , but if you have ssh access you can achieve this with mysqlbackup tool in a more quick and safer way .

Mysqlbackup using ssh is also useful but php script should be safe subject to the practise suggested by emanuele above.

Hm... I don't think you understand. This is the settings page for the cronjob. There is no command line, only path to the php file and the time the script will be started.

Noted. I guess that is your issue with your hosting. If you are using VPS, you should be able to do beyond that.
