Topic: Relocating MySQL database in ibay ?

[E-MaN_]

(I've search the site but couldn't find info about it.)

I'm about to move sme to a new server. Right now it isn't really a problem, but I was wondering if it would be possible to keep ibay and database together. Easier to manage, backup and restore.

I was thinking about:
/ibays/test
/ibays/test/cgi-bin/
/ibays/test/files/
/ibays/test/html/
/ibays/test/mysql/
and
/var/lib/mysql for other stuff not related to an ibay

I've tested this with a symlink for /home/e-smith/files/ibays/test/mysql /var/lib/mysql/test which seems to work.

Are there any disadvantages for this and would it be simple to implement this with a template?
