Good Evening:

I am working on my server and I have a database I need to backup: I backed up ALL of the databases EXCEPT the one that I thought I had done in the last backup. I have the database in the /var/lib/mysql/<DATABASE NAME> like THIS:
================================================================================

Inside that, I have this data:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 13064 Oct 25 17:14 wp_users.frm
===============================================================
I tried to do this backup by following a tutorial about how to do this in the event that you DON'T have a backup of this data. If I try to follow any tutorial, I am messing with permissions, and ib_* and ibdata files.

Is there a way to backup the data as it is listed? I NEED this database, and all I get when I follow those directions is ERRORS, and then mysql doesn't start!

Is there anything I can do to get this backed up??
