Rich, Replacing one LAMP role with another will not retain MySQL data (unless you're just creating snapshot of server of the same role). LAMP role incorporates logic of its components, so this warning comes from MySQL role behavior, where users often confuse server snapshot and MySQL data snapshot terms. Just make sure to always create snapshots of the master server.
