Backing up a database!?

[Mekhu]

Is it possible for me to connect to my host and backup my mysql database onto my computer?

If so, can I please get some instruction?

Im using phpMyAdmin to backup the data and structure.
Or you can use mysqldump with this command: mysqldump -h myhost -u root -pmypass dbname > dbname_back.sql

ps: I'm just learning php/mysql so I may not be correct...

:D

I just learned that you could use phpmyadmin... I backed it up!

Thanks.
