The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. ---> System.TimeoutException: Timeout in IO operation at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.TimedStream.StopTimer() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.TimedStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at System.IO.BufferedStream.Read(Byte[] array, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.ReadFully(Stream stream, Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.LoadPacket() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlStream.ReadPacket() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.FetchDataRow(Int32 statementId, Int32 columns) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Driver.FetchDataRow(Int32 statementId, Int32 columns) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.ResultSet.GetNextRow() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.ResultSet.NextRow(CommandBehavior behavior) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader.Read() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.ExceptionInterceptor.Throw(Exception exception) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Throw(Exception ex) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.HandleTimeoutOrThr eadAbort(Exception ex) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader.Read() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.Export_RowsData(String tableName, String selectSQL) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.Export_Rows(String tableName, String selectSQL) at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.Export_TableRows() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.ExportStart() at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.ExportToFile(String filePath) at MYSQL_Auto_Backup.Form1.Backup() in c:\\Users\\Belal\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2012\\Projects\\MYSQL Auto Backup\\MYSQL Auto Backup\\Form1.cs:line 132

Code:

// Backup...
            DateTime Time = DateTime.Now;
            year = Time.Year;
            month = Time.Month;
            day = Time.Day;
            hour = Time.Hour;
            minute = Time.Minute;
            second = Time.Second;
            millisecond = Time.Millisecond;

            //Save file to Path with the current date as a filename
            string path;
            path = txb_Path.Text + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "--" + hour + "-" + minute + "-" + second + ".sql";
            file = path;
            using (MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString))
            {
                using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand())
                {
                    using (MySqlBackup mb = new MySqlBackup(cmd))
                    {
                        cmd.Connection = conn;
                        conn.Open();
                        mb.ExportToFile(file);
                        conn.Close();
                    }
                }
            }

You can change the timeout with the "CommandTimeout" property.

There are a lot of other ways of doing the backup (eg from the database's administrative tools) that you might want to consider as well. See, for example, below:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/3.11/en/meb-scheduled-backups.html

One other minor point. For the following line:

string path;
path = txb_Path.Text + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "--" + hour + "-" + minute + "-" + second + ".sql";
file = path;

why not do something like

file = String.Format("{0}{1}-{2}-3--{4}-{5}...", txb_Path.Text, year, month...);

String concatenation like you're doing is actually fairly expensive in .NET because .NET strings are immutable.
