Yes.  Use the mythconverg_backup.pl script.  It will create a good, 
portable backup using standard mysqldump, but it will also make sure the 
backup is created properly such that it won't be missing required 
information and result in a corrupted schema and such.  (Which mysqldump 
options are used is very important.)
