Dear Claudemir,
you can use
mysqldump --all-databases > my_dump_file.sql
which will make restore possible on *any* operating system. It creates
quite a big file (because of all the create / insert statements) - which
might be slow to transfer to / from an internet machine. It's a bit
faster if you use
cp /var/lib/mysql/* -R /some/safe/place
In this case, make sure you use MyISAM files as this table type is
interchangeable and runs on any operating system.
Regards,
--
