Migrate database after mysql has died

[apinto]

Please provide more details about your MySQL config.
Usually MySQL does not die, you should have some error that can be fixed.

Keep in mind:
- If the table is using the MyISAM (default) engine you can probably move the files. You can't move the files if it's using InnoDB.
- This is never the better alternative. You should fix the MySQL error first.
