back up database?

[openfire]

How do I backup-up my database, and how often should this be done?

Is there an easy way to do this that doesn't require sql skills?

Thanks.

Uhhh... I was under the impression that there was a way to back up the pp classifieds database... is there?

You can try the backup database tool in the admin if you have setup mysqldump's path and a backup directory that is writable but this tool does not work on all servers. Easiest way to export a database is phpmyadmin if your not too versed on handling this.
