You can use
mysqldump -Ato do generate sql dumps for all databases.Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
Alternatively, you can also just copy the acutal data directory.
Edit: apologies for not being specific, as others have noted this will work only ISAM. For innodb, you’ll need to backup using mysqldump or another utility such as phpMyAdmin.
