If it is for the same opencms version your approch sounds good :-) But, 
what ist, when a new version of opencms (the final comes in a few days, 
I assume ;) ) was published? In this case you would restore with your 
mysqldumps an old system. Right? How can I merge a new blank 
installation with old data? Is it possible to dump some special tables? 
And if, which tables should be backuped and  which not?
