Backing up database – "export" vs. phpMyAdmin?

    I see that under “tools” in WP there is an “export” option. Should I be using that to backup my database, or doing it through phpMyAdmin?

    If I had to pick between the two, I would backup through phpMyadmin, but that is only because I know it has worked for me every time I need to import a DB.

    I have never imported a WP exported DB, but I am sure it works fine.

    That being said, I do use the WP Database backup plug to email a copy of my DB to myself everyday, though I have never had to use it before.
