i have a production system running FreeBSD 6.2-p3/MySQL 5.0.33, with 2 databases. i also have a development box, which is pretty much a mirror of my production system, that i would like to import my databases into. daily, the production system dumps the databases to .sql files, as well as is also backed up by a netbackup server to tape (entire filesystem is backed up. right now the dev system has had no databases created in it.
is it possible to restore from tape, the /var/db/mysql directory from the production into the dev system (ie, and would it start and load those databases?) or, is really the only viable way to migrate or restore a database, is to create the blank database, and then reload the dump? thanks, jonathan -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
