I have always done this:

mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE > /home/f/db_backup/MYDATABASE.sql
mysql -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE < MYDATABASE.sql

But, if I do this instead...is this safe? Is this identical to the above???

mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE | gzip > /home/f/db_backup/MYDATABASE.sql.gz
zcat MYDATABASE.sql.gz | mysql -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE
