MySQL setup cloning?

[Carl Fink <carl@fink.to>]

Is there some simple way to duplicate a MySQL setup from one server to
another, with all tables, queries, and accounts/passwords?  Perhaps just
copying certain files?

I'm not a MySQL expert (obviously), just trying to have a warm backup server
ready if the main one goes down.  I don't need two-way replication at all,
just the ability to manually copy everything over once a day or so.

Thanks.
