    Use Wordpress Export tool instead. It will backup only posts, pages, comments,categories and tags.

    If you're backing up for a "worst case scenario" situation, you should use WP Export (as suggested above), but also make sure you've got a full backup of your entire database (e.g. phpMyAdmin>Export).

    I use a plugin called WP-DB-Backup. Try it.

    It allows manual selecting tables you want to download.

    You can download selected tabled manually from PHP MyAdmin yourself.
