    I am using wordpress for my sms messages site and using wp-db-backup plugin for databse backup and restore but now my hosting providor has disabled these
    passthru() disabled.
    exec() disabled.
    Without these i am unable to get database backup and restore, plz tell me any wordpress database plugin that can backup and restore database easily, also it can backup comments, ratings, statistics etc...

    In another way, you can use the myPHPadmin for export data too.

    Backing up manually is the best way. Don't be scared of it because it is actually a pretty simple. Have a bit of confidence.

    Here is the address for the WordPress guide on Backing up your database.

    You are right dear manually backup is good but if we have plugins to do all the work with just one click then why waste time for manuall backups.

    http://paragonhost.wordpress.com/2006/11/08/howto-back-up-re-store-mysql-database-with-myphpadmin-gui-or-mysqldump-command-line-tool/
    Code (markup):
    here is link for export/backup and import/restore table on database with myphpadmin


    ** below infos I never try **
    export all table begin with "wp_" on database that save to text file on local computer.

    create new database on server that you want to restore (the name should be same the old one)
    install WP untill you will see password on screen to login.
    delete all data table on new database.
    import text file to new database/server.
    login to new WP with the old password.

    There's a plugin for WP database backup here:

    http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-dbmanager.html

    Sure we can use mySQL but I would go for a plugin anytime for its simplicity. This plugin does backup, restore, auto backup scheduling, optimizing, +++

    What more can you asked? :)

    Enjoy.

    Hilmy.

    karrut dear i was using your suggested plugin before and it works like a charm but now as i told my hosting providor has disabled "passthru" so without it wp-dbmanager plugin cant work, so i am asking for any other plugin which can backup/restore without pasthru.
