Hello.
> e:\mysql\scripts\mysqlhotcopy.pl -u root -p password db_name /backup_test I think, the problem is in the missing period in "/backup_test", it should be "./backup_test". But generally Windows isn't listed in operating systems list on which mysqlhotcopy works. Maybe cygwin will help. MightyData <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am running MySQL and Perl on Windows 2003.
