    Way to backup your SQL without Cpanel access?

    If you just have the DB login and FTP access, how can one backup his mySQL database tables? I have limited access on one server, and I just recently bought a server and I want to transfer over everything, but I don't have CPanel access to access phpMyAdmin on the old server Any ideas?

    I would assume that there is an SQL command that you can use to backup the database to disk (perhaps called Backup, but you will need to check the MySQL documentation).

    As long as you back it up to somewhere you can connect with FTP, it should be fairly easy.

    I just did a quick search at MySQL.com, and this seems like it might be useful:
