It is a popular tool, and it can backup databases, usually as a download
file, and has to be run interactively. It often times out with large
databases.

Because it is widely used, and often not kept up to date with security
patches, PHPMyAdmin is a popular target of automatic attack scripts. I see
that every day on servers I administer, though it is not installed.

If you use it, do keep it up to date.
