/var/lib/mysql/ holds all of your DB's. Inside each directory(DB) there are 3 files for each table in that DB (assuming myisam here). You can copy these files to the from one server to the next. It's probably a good idea to stop the servers during this process so that no one can alter the table or try to read from it while you are replacing the old with the new. I don't know that mysqldump takes wildcards so to use that you will probably have to do an individual mysqldump for each table in the DB that you want to dump. Type in man mysqldump to see all the options for mysqldump.
