mysql backup restore suggestion

I'd like to make a full backup of one mysql i386 server:

/usr/bin/mysqldump -uusr -ppwd --single-transaction --all-databases > /home/dump.sql

and restore it on an x64 one.

Is it a safe operation or the best result will be a messy ?
What do you suggest to backup/restore databases ?
