How'bout backing up your data directory (ies) Otherwise you can maybe use mysql_dump in a batch??

I've started a very large travel project and there is going to be over 100 DB's in the end, each with who knows how many tables and going through PHPMyADMIN and exporting 1 DB at a time is going to take forever. My Server is the Rehat Linux 8.0 with Apache and MySQL and PHP. Thanks, any help would be really appreciated (And save me alot of headaches).
