If you are running your own MySQL queries that may have the possibility of messing up one of the tables, it's a good idea to do a backup first. If it's NOT a combined-file backup, it's easier to restore just that single table. Beyond that, it's normally easier to have the backup in one file for restore operations and for disk space reasons.
