That feature has been removed. (don't know why)
You can use phpmyadmin, cpanel or other scripts to backup your database.

From the manual:
Backing Up The Database via SSH/Telnet or
Backing Up The Database via phpMyAdmin

Restoring The Database via SSH/Telnet or
Restoring The Database via phpMyAdmin

If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper
MySQLHotxcopy
Bigdump

Because backing up a database from the adminCP isn't reliable

Yeh .. but lot of people have shared hosting and they cannot use SSH/Telnet.
And phpmyadmin is usually restricted (may be only few MB) so this option is not good for them too.

It is better if that option was left as it was.
