the command i am using is mysqldump -u root dbname> 'c:\backupdatafolder\backup.sql'
i am running this command in MySQL cli but not running,..is there any thing wrong in the command?

Answer

You are supposed to run that on the command line of your operating system not on the MySQL CLI.

cd to the bin folder of MySQL first, something like C:\mysql\bin or wherever your MySQL is installed on
