Depending where your MySQL is installed (such as a Unix server), you might be
able to automate your backups. As an example if you added a line to crontab to
run the mysqldump command on a daily basis, it saves the hassle of remembering
to do that your self, or needing to use another program like phpmyadmin. If you
are running it from a Unix system it may be worth considering.
