My 'backup' ( basically shutdown, truncate query log, start again ) script looks like: --- for I in database_1 database_2 database_3 do mysqldump --opt $I > $I.sql -psome_password done /etc/init.d/mysql stop sleep 30 echo "" > /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /etc/init.d/mysql start --- There would have been nothing else happening at the time of the backup - everyone was at home. Whenever I see stuff in the logs like the above, I start to worry. Should I 'trust' everything is OK, or dump, restore from a backup, and process the transaction log? -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
