Is it possible to dump BLOB fields?

Hello,
I would like to make my backups of MySQL using mysqldump.
My question is: what happens if I have blob fields?
does mysqldump can dump the data on those fields correcty
in a plain text sql script file? I ask this because
I have blob fields containing images and other binary
information (not plain text).

I need your advice: is mysqldump a good way to backing up
my databases?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Roland
