How to backup records in mySQL DB?

Hi, I'm having a touch situation on my hands. Last week one of my site was shut down in what the Hosting Company claimed to be a Policy Violation. However, it was found out later that it wasn't so and they had to re-host my site. Unfortunately, they erased my mySQL database with my account and we lost all our very important Data in the tables there. It's horrible. We're beggining again but i'm not scared about the Data. The data is posted online by users. I need to have a way to backup my mySQL data. If possible, on some other site location or in Hard Copy (As in a file) or something. I don't know how to do any of this. I have no idea what to do about it. Can anyone make any suggestions & help? Regards, T. Edison jr. ===== Rahul S.
