Thanks very much, I see that it is disabled and I've asked for it to be re-enabled. But does this mean there is data for the wiki dbase that isn't stored in the regular MySQL table files,
Yes. Not all MySQL data are stored in those subdirectories.
so that when I take a backup of the mysql/data directory (via the CPanel), I'm not getting everything?
That's entirely possible. Copying files out of MySQL's data directory is not a reliable backup mechanism, especially if you're only copying from some database's subdirectory.
I want to move hosting, but all I have are the MySQL table files, not the single sql file... does that mean I don't have all I need, and I first need to be able to do an sql export?
Probably.
