Hi, I was reading in a SitePoint adobe pdf book that the good thing about mysqldump is it can be used to backup a MySql database while the MySql server is running and the website is live. I was wondering if phpMyAdmin also has this ability (basically if it is running mySqlDump which can do this). The videos at the link below suggest that it does run mysqldump without directly saying so. My google search was "phpmyadmin execute mysqldump".
