Couldn't you do that with the mysqldump command?  Something like:

mysqldump --opt koha marc_subfield_structure > subfield_structure_backup.sql

to make the copy, and then:

mysql koha marc_subfield_structure < subfield_structure_backup.sql

on the Point B machine to read that table into the second installation?

Or I think you could also do it over a network, if your MySQL is set up
for remote hosts:

mysqldump --opt koha marc_subfield_structure | mysql --host=remote-host -C
koha marc_subfield_structure

BUT, I haven't tried that (just a suggestion for some other brave soul to
test).

Do you mean you _must_ use the web interface?  I didn't think so.
