Of course, you need to make certain that the MySQL being stopped is not the one running your catalog. ;) Personally, I - both on my own systems, and on work systems - do not back up MySQL data directories directly. I dump the DBs and back up the dumps, or I flush and freeze the tables for a moment, snapshot the datadir, then thaw the tables and back up the snapshot. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
