Excuse me, I did not clearly explained my problem. I indeed used mysqldump to backup BLOB columns and it did not returned errors, but when I restored the information I got an error about a repeated index number. When I tried to open the dump file to correct the problem, I could not do anything with it because of the binary data inside. I used vi to do so. I had to manually copy the files from the old directory to the new, and then correct the problem. That's why I asked if mysqldump was handling this type of data... So I guess my real question is: which software (on Unix) will let me open a dump of mysqldump containing BLOB data, if possible? Thanks and sorry for the misleading question.
