Hi, I use this page to back up MySQL databases all the time:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database
It’s really easy to follow and I’ve restored databases that I’ve exported using these directions, and everything’s worked perfectly. But now my version of phpMyAdmin has changed, and the directions aren’t as easy to follow.
I’ve got Version 3.4.9...is there another page to follow?
Thank you for your help!
