I suppose it could be done by scanning and copying the database files
over to the other computer (shutting down both SlimServer and MySQL
while copying). But that'd be pretty ugly and more than a little prone
to problems. Better would be to export the MySQL database as
dump/backup on the Lenovo and then import it into MySQL on the
LinkStation.
Better yet would be to have the scanner running on the Lenovo directly
access the database running on the Linkstation. Probably will be a
little slower than running everything on the Lenovo, but you'll have to
see.
First, you'll need to be sure MySQL server on the LinkStation is
accessible from other computers, not just from the LinkStation. You
could test it by using something like SQLyog ('download'
