You can use your favorite database backup/restore tools to dump KMP database, but the best way to do this is to use command line (it works on Windows as well as on Unix-like systems).
Use this command to dump the database:

mysqldump -u mysql-username -p kmp-database > dump.sql

Before restoring the database, open it in a database administration tool, e.g. phpMyAdmin or HeidiSQL and drop all tables from this database (i.e. select all tables and click "Drop Tables" button, which means "delete tables").

Then use this command to restore the database (if needed):

mysql -u mysql-username -p kmp-database < dump.sql
