Database backup

What is the easiest and/or safest way to backup your database and restore it?

Copy the folder \mysql\data\eq...

sysadmin

Paste this on a batch file and run it, will do a complete database backup, just replace eq with your database name.

Quote:

cd\
cd \mysql\bin
mysqldump -u root eq > eqbackup.sql
exit

I understand both ways, so if I make a backup .sql file I'll have to resource it then right? If I just backup the data folder then after I reinstall Mysql, I would just copy that database folder in there and it will work right?

Yeah, that way works as well.
