Database location files

Hey,

I know that the database consists of auth, world, characters etc but where are those files located? For example I know that to make a backup of the database for any purposes, I can do it with heidi etc. But are the specific files of the database like auth.sql, world.sql located somewhere? Like inside the core folder or somewhere else?

Thanks!

DB data is stored in files handled in various ways by the type / version of MySQL server you use, depending on OS (Windows, Linux, OS/X).

All manuals about making backups tell you to either use SQL tools or queries inside your DB editor to create backups.

***

Please notice that it is not recommended to backup the files themselves, because the MySQL server might change file info and produce errors if you overwrite files instead of using SQL tools or backup/restore tools.
