Answer 1

Go to Start-> All Programs -> Accessories right click on Command Prompt click on Run as administrator

In the command prompt using CD command Go to MySQL bin folder and run the below command

mysqldump --user root --password=root --all-databases>dumps.sql

it will create dumps.sql file in the bin folder itself.
