Steps 2,3,4 should be simply "Copy the entire mysql tree". That way, you don't leave out any ancillary files. In particular, if you have innodb_file_per_table, you would have failed to copy any of the data!

Recovery of a single database (or table) is trickier. In particular, your technique (and my improvement on it) cannot achieve this task.

To recover (and, hence, to dump) a particular database or table requires one of these techniques:

* mysqldump instead of copying files. You could, for example, mysqldump each database, one at a time.

* See if your version includes "transportable tablesets", then follow the rules for using such. Frankly, I am not convinced that this technique will even be possible. (You drifted into an area where I am not proficient. Oh, no! I flunked your test! (cry))
