Hi,

I'm to back up the database for My SQL Server 5.1.45 using the following commands:

mysql> mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] test> testback.sql;
mysql> mysqldump --databases test>testback.sql;
mysql> mysqldump test>testback.sql;

for all the above commands it displays the error message:
Error at Line 1, please check your server manual

How can i backup my database?
