And, incedentally, if you're using mysqldump to export the data, there's 
an option to force backticks on table and column names:

|--quote-names, -Q|
    Quote database, table, and column names within ``' characters. If
    the server SQL mode includes the |ANSI_QUOTES| option, names are
    quoted within `"' characters. As of MySQL 4.1.1, |--quote-names| is
    on by default, but can be disabled with |--skip-quote-names|.
