 What he is saying is; if you browse your files on your computer you should be able to go to c:\mysql\data (assuming you installed MySQL in the default directory) and simply copy the entire directory and paste it somewhere else. That way, when/if you mess something up, you have a working backup that you can simply copy from the other location BACK to \mysql\data to overwrite the broken parts of that directory (read your DB).....
