Stored Procedure for remote backup

I am trying to create a stored procedure that can be triggered via laravel 10 query but I am struggling to see what is wrong in the SQL i have gotten so far. Any clues as to where I am goinbg wrong would be much appreciated-

`CREATE PROCEDURE backup_database ( IN database_name VARCHAR(512), IN remote_location VARCHAR(512) ) BEGIN DECLARE backup_file_name VARCHAR(512);

SET backup_file_name = CONCAT(database_name, '-', NOW(), '.gz');

SET @command = CONCAT('mysqldump -u root -p --compatible=mariadb ', database_name, ' | gzip -c > ', remote_location, '/', backup_file_name); PREPARE statement FROM @command; EXECUTE statement; DEALLOCATE PREPARE statement;

SET @command = CONCAT('rm ', remote_location, '/', backup_file_name); PREPARE statement FROM @command; EXECUTE statement; DEALLOCATE PREPARE statement; END;`

Prepared statements are for executing SQL, and not for executing system commands.
