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?

Thanks,


Keith
