This is really not a question for -ports. This is something you should
be asking the MySQL folks. In fact, better yet, there's an entire
section on how to backup/restore entire databases. Be aware that
migrating your mysql/ database is a testy thing, and if at all possible,
read the docs thoroughly or do it by hand.
