MySQL Administrator not backing up current database

[isaacgrover]

Good evening from Wisconsin,

I recently came into managing a Windows 2003 server that has MySQL Administrator installed and supposedly running the MySQL databases for that server. We're trying to migrate the MySQL databases to a new server, but I can't seem to get the current data, only original data, using the MySQL Administrator built-in backup tool.

Is there another way to backup the current data?

Thank you in advance,

try mysqldump

There are three general ways to invoke mysqldump:

shell> mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
shell> mysqldump [options] --databases db_name ...
shell> mysqldump [options] --all-databases

If you do not name any tables following db_name or if you use the --databases or --all-databases option, entire databases are dumped.
