Unfortunately, you're using MySQL on a Microsoft product, and you've probably
run into one of those issues where Redmond decided what's best for you (changing
the 'case' of the filenames).
BUT, in both the Microsoft and UNIX realm of products, 'packaging' files (on
UNIX using 'tar' and 'gzip', and on Windows-XX using "pkzip" or "winzip" or
GNU's tar and Gzip for MS products) before moving or backing them up should help
'protect' them (since thought the 'package' might change, the files within are
'protected').
