How do you make a backup?

I have entered a few hundred items in the product database and now need to back them up.
What are the "rudimentary" steps for doing this?
Thank you.

Think like a man of action; Act like a man of thought.

Re: How do you make a backup?

I have been looking for the same info. I've seen several instructions both here and in the Wiki to be sure "back up your database" but I haven't found any place where someone explains how to do that.

Maybe it's something obvious that I am missing, but if, so would appreciate being clued in.

Thanks!

Google is a wonderful tool - I put in backup mysql database and got over 6 million hits. The very first listing is: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/Backing-up-and-restoring-your-MySQL-Database/
