Backing up databases then importing them...

well i might be jumping the gun a little. so say i want to first backup a mysql database from my company server to my laptop. I have working versions of both mysql and php up and running. I've tried mysqldump and i dont think i have the syntax right would someone please show me how to backup all the databases of a computer then restoring it on another.
any feedback would greatly be appreciated

Do you have phpMyAdmin installed? if so there is an option to 'view dump(schema) of database xxx' select 'structure and data' and hit go - this gives you page you can cut and paste , paste it into the 'run SQL queries' textbox in phpMyAdmin on your machine and a complete copy will be made.

if you do not have it - www.phpwizards.net (http://www.phpwizards.net) is where you can find it !
