How do you backup and restore a MySQL database on a Linux system without using the plain dump?
“Just copy the whole data folder of MySQL”

What is the Linux path to this?

Superpappa asked:


Its a hosted account with PHP and phpMyAdmin. The source control is local subversion.
The idea is to easily see relevant differences, and I suspect that for example SQL code backup is not the best way to do that.
How is this better than PHPMyAdmin?
Was thinking of something like XML, or perhaps having just one item pr line.
