The fastest method in backing up an SQL database remotely is via SSH. Learn it, use it, love it.
SSH is the best method for exporting/importing any sensetive information that can get corrupt during a transfer.
Here is what I do with 50+MB databases:
-GZAR with a linux machine or Winrar on a Windows box.
-Upload via FTP as a GZAR
-Connect to SSH and extract/import. Follow the websites provided by Lynne.
That is the quickest method of exporting/importing a database.
