DB Backup

[flnz400]

I've been trying to backup my DB through Putty, per VB instructions. I keep getting this error below and have searched the forum for different things to try, but none seem to be working.

I'm new at this, are there other ways to do this other than the Mysql backup function in the Cpanel....I've been told by my host that it may timeout and have errors upon restoring? Thanks in advance for any helpful tips!

Are you using the same username (admin_admin) and password that you put in the config.php file?

You hit it right on the head! I was using only (admin). Thank You!
