Backing up and moving mysql data bases

The procedure on this should be fairly straightforward.

- Put your database into offline mode (so nothing is being written to it while doing the move)
- Dump the database to a file
- Move the file to the new MySQL install
- Import the database

Looks something like this:

mysqldump -u root -p databasename > somecoolfilename.sql

It will prompt for your root MySQL password.
Then move the .sql file to the new MySQL server.
Once there:

mysql -u root -p databasename < somecoolfilename.sql
