Yes, when using the mysql back end.

Maybe that's necessary after the recent changes.  The original version I 
implemented (where the database encoding depended on the Python version 
used) worked for me with exporting and importing with the same Roundup 
version, but might have caused problems in other cases depending on how 
MySQL was configured regarding characters sets.

I didn't try exporting / importing just tables and not files.
