the .sql files in the mysql/bin folder hold no data. thay are only the origional sql file you copied tere to begin with. the only way to back your DB up is to "dump" the database into a file.
open a commandline and run mysqldump.exe eq > dumpedfile.sql
or something like that hehe. run mysqldump.exe for CL argument help if that doesnt work.
