Theres two things I could reccommend for using mysql
The first (and simplistic) is PHPmyAdmin which is a php based MySQL
administration tool.
The second is WebMin. I like webmin personally. It gives you total
protected access to all your system stuff (system, crons, servers, etc)
including mysql, and in the mysql section you canpoint and click your way to
a back up.
But theres always the better way of RTFM at mysql.com and learn how to do
it.

Subject: Re: vconvert
I have been mulling over this for sometime. I still don't feel comfortable
putting the development versions into production; too many frequent changes
that might be necessary. So I am still with the stable version of vpopmail
with a working vconvert.
However, there is an interesting script in the source under "contrib"
directory called addusers.pl, that manually adds a list of users, one by
one, to a domain you specify. The catch is that it requires cleartext
passwords. Can "vadduser" work with encrypted passwords?
Another problem is how to backup a list of users with their passwords from
the MySQL db? I plan to use vconvert to create vpasswd files on a regular
basis, but how can one do that with the development vpopmail? Does anybody
have a (perl?) script that can read the db table and write out a neat
little vpasswd file? I think that it is do-able, but am too pressed with
other stuff.
