Well - for big databases, you shouldn't be using the built-in backup or phpmyadmin...
ssh is
always the way to go.
one of my boards has a db over 1GB, and I typically use a mysqldump to backup. It takes about 7 mins to complete.
I tried the mysqlhotcopy method, but I don't like that it dumps the files into a directory - makes it harder and more lengthy to download nightly.
