If I would like to switch from Linux to windows based install.
And I want to keep my characters, and auth intact.
Can I use HeidiSQL to backup the database to the new windows machine, or do I have to extract it from my Linux VM first?

if you have access to your DB (on linuxVM) from your windows-VM, it shouldnt pose a problem. I also do backups / exports from my macbook while being connected to the Database which runs in a windows-VM.
just make sure the worldserver is not running so you are sure that no data is being written in the meantime

Ok, so basically I should be able to just pull out acore_auth and acore_characters
And then later paste that into my new server

basically yes, but also be sure to have both servers on the same commit/revision so you don't have any discrepancies between the database structures.
When moving data to a new install, I tend to only export/import the tables that I need, not the whole DB

What tables would be needed from acore_auth and acore_characters to ensure no characters are lost in the process?
