If I might add $0.02 here... It has been my experience that mysqldump is the best solution. * The data is portable to alternate installs if needed (including changes in memory configurations which can improve performance...) * The output of mysqldump is typically much smaller when compressed than the raw data files. This invariably makes the operation faster and more efficient.
