Moving database with phpMyAdmin

I have a remote (website) version of a wordpress site and it’s got more recent information than my local (computer) version.

I would like to move the data over to my local using phpMyAdmin, what is the best way to go about this?

Should I just export the entire database, import it and re-link my wordpress site to the “new” (more recent) database in the config file?

I would do this so.

But this is probably not the most efficient way accomplishing this task.

There are several plugins out there, that may automate this. If anyone knows one, that is good, I would like to hear about it.

Plugins that look promising:

  • http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/
  • http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
