Free is good!! I'll second the mySQL Administrator recommendation. When I made the switch to mySQL from Access it helped make it a lot easier.

And well, backup files generated from mySQL are .sql files that are pretty much self-contained... you just need to restore them. The administrator is definitely much better that the clunky phpMySQL. For everyday maintenance, it works great... and I rarely have a need to use the mySQL command line. Best of all, its free. Use it with the mySQL Browser, and you'll get most of the db maintenance stuff accomplished.
