Get  PhpMyAdmin - http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

 PhpMyAdmin is a great software package, however I don't think there is anyway to set it up to do a cron job and export the stuff on a regular basis.
However if you need to just do a quick backup - it does the job well - you just need to remember to do it every so often.
If you have ssh or telnet access - Cleo's recommendation is more automated
