I have multiple backups of everything. The problem here is that they just don't work on different architectures. Anyway, I have apparently managed quite well with judicious copying of stuff from ~/.kde. But I was only able to do so, because my understanding of how things work is rather above that of an ordinary user. > About the 32bit/64bit issue.

Yes, that's what I did for my *regular* MySQL (and PostgreSQL) database running on a database server. I just haven't found any way to dump the data from an *embedded* MySQL database such as Amarok uses.
