I'm pretty sure you're looking in the wrong place. The command you are looking for is mysqldump and it is part of the mysql command set. With the right parameters it will create a file that can be used to restore your entire database to a working state.
I'm not sure how PHPAdmin does it. I use a shell script and cron to run the command nightly and then ftp the file to another machine. Cheap and easy backup.
