Hello, I already use phpmyadmin to dump the mysql data into sql files, but I would like to back up the original database files as well.
I found the actual database files on my server in var/lib/mysql and want to download copies, but I do not know wether I should use binary or ascii format. What would be best? Will downloading in the wrong format corrupt the database files?
