Re: MySQL 5.7 database files

With MySQL, don't backup your "files", backup your database.
The database objects that comprise your database can be spread over many files. But where and how they are stored is not your concern, MySQL looks after that.

Use the MySQL provided backup tool mysqldump.
Read all about it in the refman.

Good luck,
Barry.
