MySql will have a routine in there for you to export the database. If there is php, you also have an option to do so from there. You may well be able to see the databases from your MySQL control panel. if so, back them up (export them)... now. Even the newer versions of MySql can see the databases created by the older versions. Somewhere, there is a config file that is telling the server what database file name to store the data in.

That is all right if you know where the database is. However PC's old sites seem to be reading and drawing data from a non existent database. Nothing on the server will let me back up a database until I know where it is, and searching for that ghost database is what I'm afraid may knacker it!
