What are the Methods for Backing up my MySQL Database?

The standard method for backing up a MySQL database is via the dump method. This backup process produces a copy of the database in ASCII(text) form. The file uses a series of SQL statements that build the database. This is the most common format to backup a MySQL database and can be obtained through your account manager.
