    Do you have access to your mysql through phpmyadmin? If yes you can just use that for backup. Backing up mysql will be different from normal static pages. Any idea what controlpanel are you using at present?

    1) Access phpmyadmin
    2) Select Export
    3) Save as SQL
    4) Download the file
    5) Import it in your new host

    I just sold a blog, so thats how I know this :D

    There is also a db backup plugin for wordpress that will backup the entire database for you as well.

    I use this one. It's really simple. Just click a button and you have a full backup

    I use it all the time and have the backup emailed to me on weekly basis.
