Quoting Ashar Voultoiz, from the post of Sun, 31 Oct: last I check this was a "write only backup medium" since I found no way to suck that single page back in. I do that daily with my site, keep 6 back "issues" on the server (i.e. one week) and rsync the last one to my home machine. Better safe than sorry (and sorry I've been. believe me) -- Royale with cheese Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/

I wrote a PHP script based on phpMyAdmin that automates it and outputs the result. (Basically, I set global variables and included Export.php at the end. I also changed Export.php a bit so that it will ouput the raw file as opposed to HTML.) I'll send it to anyone who want's it. (It doesn't include any server-specific data, but you'll have to set up your config file first).
