Can you restore from a backup of the mysql data directory or do you need to 
dump the database in order to be able to restore?  I have seen some traffic 
on the list that suggests that a dump is the way to go.  I backup the data 
directory each night, but I would hate to find out that that is not the way 
to go if/when things go bad.
