Copy .FRM, .MYD and .MYI files from the database directory. But you can do this only with MyISAM tables.

Here is another way for backup.

mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] >
[backupfile.sql]

*[username] - this is your database username
*[password] - this is the password for your database
*[databasename] - the name of your database
*[backupfile.sql] - the file to which the backup should be written.

Try this, it would work.
