  2. Click PHPMyAdmin.

  4. Select the tables from the list that you would like to dump. To dump the entire database, click Select All.
  5. "Structure" and "Data" boxes must be selected on the right.
    In the Structure section, check the "Add DROP TABLE / DROP VIEW" box to make exported file to be able to replace existing tables of the same name. To merge this backup with another database, do not select this.
