the best way to back up...

[Denis Voitenko]

I am in a process of moving four databases from Access to MySQL. The Linux
box that I am moving the database to has no backup device except a floppy
drive :-) so I've been thinking about copying files nightly to a NT server
that has a tape drive over SMB. Now, which files would I need to backup? Do
I mysqldump the databases before I back them up?
