does it copy the files to a new folder, or does it just move them so that the forum is no longer usable?

A mysqldump doesn't touch your files at all, it makes a copy of your database.

To be more presize, it creates a file with SQL-statements to rebuild your database structure (tables, indices, etc..) and the INSERT-statements to load the data again.

Like Colin say, besides reading, it doesn't touch you database.
