With a quick google search of "php mysqldump", this was the first result: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/perform-mysql-backup-php.php I personally like mysqldump. It's fast and it saves all the table info.... and you can use PHP to call it. For more info (parameters, etc) on mysqldump: http://dev.mysql.com/mysqldump Good Luck, ~Philip
