That is easily done by going to a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and typing:

For a single database:

mysqldump -u szUserName -p szDatabaseName > /path/to/file

For multiple databases:

mysqldump -u szUserName -p --databases szDatabaseName1 szDatabaseName2 szDatabaseName3 > /path/to/file 

For all databases:

mysqldump -u szUserName -p --all-databases > /path/to/file 

Where szUserName is obviously your username, szDatabaseName1 is *your database name and /path/to/file is the path to the export file E.G. ./dump/db_backup.sql
