Dump the database with the command line tool mysqldump and import the dump file using the command line tool mysql on the second server.

i do not understand. what is to dump? and i merely want to be able to work on my project at any time even when i am not on my laptop. how can i have it with me in a flash drive so to say?

dump = extract the entire database contents, which you can then use to populate a copy elsewhere, either as a backup, or to work on.
