Mysql Dump DB vs Backup and Migrate module
The module which we use for production deployment and is very useful for us and easy in use has failed in the battle for uniqueness. We agree that Backup and Migrate is more complicated and has more functionality for backup Drupal proj. Here is thread about Drupal MySQL Dump DB discussion and module contributing. However contributing of our module was not successful we will be working to extend Drupal community with our experience.
