I don't know how to output the database structure and its data to a file
from an sql query BUT i know that using PhpMyAdmin will do the trick for
you. You'll find a function "view schema" in the main page (select the
"structure and data"). It dumps all the sql necessary to recreate your
database and reinsert all the data - you can then reuse the text either in
phpmyadmin or inside the mysql client to recreate the db and its data.

You can also simply copy the directory that corresponds to your db under the
mysql data directory, if that's possible for you to do.
