Hi guys, Is it safe to perform a backup of a database by copying its mysql files if the database is:
1) MyISAM and the database is not being used (mysql server turned off)? 2) InnoDB and and the database is not being used? 3) MyISAM and the database is being used? 4) InnoDB and and the database is being used? I know I can use mysqhotcopy or mysqldump but I'm just curious if it's possible to perform a backup by simply copying the files over in the conditions described above.
