Using MySQL Workbench

Browse to your wamp/bin/mysql/VERSION/bin folder, then run the following (changing the username (-u) and/or password (-p) as needed:

mysqldump -u root -p ace_auth > ace_auth.sql
mysqldump -u root -p ace_shard > ace_shard.sql

And if you have customized weenies (.sql files) or modified anything in ace_world, also run:

mysqldump -u root -p ace_world > ace_world.sql
