Question

I have a DB which is a live one, what I’m looking to do, is to make a copy.
I have access to MySQl via SSH and phpMyAdmin.
Is there a command where I can copy/backup the DB, in a single command/action, without using export/import?

Thanks

Ok, so I found a command that would take a dump of one database and then insert it into another DB using a single command:

mysqldump -u username -ppassword live_db | mysql -u username -ppassword backup_db
