Log into your account on our server and issue the following command:
[This is all one command line!]
/usr/bin/mysqldump $databasename -u $user -p$password > /home/$user/file.dump
$ indicates a

name for your account. Your mySQL username and password are usually the
same as the ones that you use to access your control panel.
For example, your actual command might look like this:
/usr/bin/mysqldump joescars_com -u frankie -p18circ > /home/frankie/joesbackup.sql
