Odd. When I dump my utf8 database it works fine. I use mysqldump -u user --password=password -a -A --add-drop-table -c >public_html/backup.sql
This backs up my entire database. Here is the limk to it in the manual http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html I hope it helps.

When I execute mysqldump -umysqladmin -pmysqladmin test < C:\mysql\bin\test-bp.sql No tables are created. Instead I what get in my DOS console (WinXpPro) is the beginning and end of the dump file (having skipped all the restoration bits!) which is what follows I am new at this. Could anybody please offer any ideas on what goes wrong here? I need to resolve this in order backup my whole database.
