Export SQL from MyPHPAdmin - Risky?
This is a silly question, but better safe than sorry.

I'd like to back up my LinksSQL database, by logging into MyPHP and selecting the export feature.

Is there any risk in doing this? It will leave the original data and export a copy of the data - right?

Thanks, April - a nervous nelly!

Answering my own question here. Might help someone else.

I did the export using MySQL and I lost my categories.

GT said we should use the import/export feature in the Links SQL Database page.

You could do that, or use a mysql dump instead of an export.
