In reply to: wordpress database backup1. You could dump just the comments table and get a pretty clean result.
2. Correct…the attachments are stored in the uploads directory…the db just stores info to relate these to the posts, pages, media, locations. If you backup the uploads directory, then you have all your “files”. If you want to know which posts/pages they are associated with, then installing (copying) you install on a local machine would do the trick.
See the following videos for creating a local copy of your blog using XAMPP.
