Craig's *almost* right -- your chances of just copying the MySQL files and
having them work are >99% for a thinly used (i.e. writes) database.
Do be ware, however, there are times when you could end up with a corrupt
database when doing this. Oh, and this assumes MyISAM container format.

My question is, does anyone know if it is possible to mirror a copy of a
database without having to export and reimport everything. I have mysql
running on my laptop and it would be cool to be able to copy files
(travelling) and just point the database elsewhere to get the program
info.
TIA
Mysql is just set of files ( /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg/* )
In *theory* and I've never tried this - you could use a "rsync for windows"
(http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/) to sync between your myth box
and your windows laptop.
I'm talking off-the-top of my head here and I might have the wrong end of
the stick in terms of what you are after
