Server_Backup

[Ueguvil]

Go Run -> Command

Go to C:\mysql\bin

Type: mysqldump databasename > something.sql

And if you just want to dump a certain table within your database (lets say the characters table), type:

mysqldump databasename characters > something.sql

If you are using MySQL 5.0 or greater you can use the admin tool off the MySQL site to back up your database. It supports timed backups and such and its useful for managing stuff.

This is the tool I use personally. I also use the query browser utility there too they all work nicely.
