So this is Data that [other] people care about.

That means you have to guarantee its safety, which means being able to Recover it should something "nasty" happen to the machine it lives on.
That almost certainly means a shared, server machine that won't change (very often) and your Application connects to the database running on that machine.

To move a database between machines, use database tools - mysqldump is the Tool of Choice for taking reliable database Backups.
