I'm hoping someone else here uses this utility and can answer this question about backing up for me.

I choose the option to "Export tables" and every table is selected. I leave the options default, which includes backing up "structure and data". I then download the sql file locally.

Is this backing up my entire database? Will this be enough to do a restore should I ever lose my database?

Thanks!

Just make sure that "data" and "structure" are checked
Then if you need to run your backup you'll have to drop the existing DB then run the .sql script
