possible but i find a very severe conflict with mysqldump between what the prod server will understand and what the test server will understand.. example: at the bottom of a create table section of mysqldump you will see the line : /*40000 ALTER TABLE! LOCK READ--*/ and of course gives error 10064:syntax error so i usually have to edit/comment out those lines so backup tablename is faster and works better usually...
