Dear God, stop talking and just spit out the information. Why on Earth does everyone get so self-absorbed recording one of these videos that they pause excessively and drone on for unnecessary amounts of time. Just describe to us how to back up the MySQL database. Good God.

Wow. I can say just these words. I use dbForge Studio for MySQL and it also looks good but we need more references like this to understand how does it work.

If you can to review MySQL back up in dbForge Studio it will be good. Thanks.

Wow, who knew it's that easy? I took a rather rigorous database course this past semester and we never went over this.
