If you have data really important in MySql, try exporting the database, from phpMyAdmin... so even if something weird happen, you would be able to import the database backup.
Maybe you should compress the xampp folder before moving it to another storage device, since if the folder is compressed, you keep the file's atributes (if you just burn the folder on a CD, probably all the files will become read only).
