I had a request today in the forum for instructions on how to backup MySQL data from a Dreamhost account. I do my best to support users who use Dreamhost because we make a few bucks from Dreamhost referrals and I use the service myself for some of my other sites. So I decided to put together a flash-video tutorial to help new Dreamhosters learn their way around the admin panel. This tutorial explains how to make backups of your MySQL database from Phpmyadmin and how to restore Dreamhost’s automatic restore points for MySQL.
