I am backing up my database using Putty, I have NO IDEA of how to use the program, I have all my usernames and passwords. I just need someone to guide me a little by little on how to backup the database. I have 5 days until I terminate my current webhosting service. Please help me if you can, I have to at least know how to back it up.

I opened Putty and typed my domain name there, I don't know if what I'm doing is right.

I click on "Open" and then this black window pops up

I cannot type anything here though. :S

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have a windows or linux host?

I just realised that my host does not support SSH, what should I do now! :S :S :S

You should try to keep this post to one forum or another or you are going to get too many mixed messaages, Your best bet is to ask your host to preform a backup using mysql dump for you :)

Or use my Backup Script in the Administration Forum :)
