database?

[Neo]

How would I go about using mysqldump? I am not to sure yet. I was told that its the best way to back up a database but I cannot seem to figure out how to use it.

Thanks for your time

I'm sure you've seen the huge tutorial Teck has about backing up databases, he describes how to use it there:

But basically you go into your SSH client, like putty, then connect to the server and type the command line:
mysqldump --opt -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME > /path/to/backup/folder/bk060502.sql

Filling in those fields (username = username of database) ;)
