One important feature that distinguish MyISAM from InnoDB is that MyISAM tables are generally binary portable. If you need to move a table from one MySQL server to the other, just copy the files from first server to the second server and you are ready to go. In some instances it’s a lot handier than using say mysqldump.I found out my recent MYSQL backups were currupted... Only after our server had been compromised! So I spent half a day reading up on how to try and recover data from an old MySQL Data Folder. Untill I stumbled across this quote hidden in one of the comments on this page: MySQL: the Pros and Cons of MyISAM Tables.
