If you have command line access to your server you can use:
To take backup:-
----------------
shell> mysqldump --quick db_name | gzip > db_name.gz
To Restore:-
------------
shell> mysqladmin create db_name
shell> gunzip < db_name.gz | mysql db_name
This process is very fast otherwise you will have to modify php.ini file on server to increase value of parameters "max_upload_size" & "max_execution_time", also you may have to edit configuration file of phpmyadmin.
