I have a home directory MySQL database and a vb database. The home is much larger than the vb. What is contained in each one.

mysql database usually holds information about mysql users & permissions.
vb db is holding the "normal" tables like any other forum does...

just browse both databases via gui tools such as phpmyadmin to see tables & data in each.

OK i guess my question is, I just backed up my vb database on my "live" site and uploaded it to my Test site. Looks like it updated everything fine in the test site. What will I be missing it I dont update the home directory as well on the test site . Its several gigs vs the 40 mb vb database.
