Hi Rob,
Thank you for the answer.
Yes, the two databases do not interact but I access them using ODBC
connection and if I use two instances, I will need two ODBC connections
setup on each production PC. If I use one instance I could use for the
second connection:
;ODBC=XXX;Database=yyy
So, I prefer not to use option 1.
I did not understand option 2. If I do not use "One file per table"
then all data for all databases is kept in the same set of files
(IBDATA*), right? If I use "One file per table", then I could use
winbolic link to place the database on a different disk, right?
Am I missing something in option 2? Is there a way to separate the data
of one database without "One file per table"? How?
Thanks, Reuven

Option 1:
Assuming you do not need the databases to interact with each other I
would setup two instances of mysql with separate datadirectories. This
should make your back process easier. Read:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-create-option-file.html
Option 2:
You could symlink (or NTFS junction for windows using a tool like
winbolic link) the data directories for the individual databases to
different locations.
As for "One file per table" I don't think that is what you want/need.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/multiple-tablespaces.html
"Using multiple tablespaces can be beneficial to users who want to
move specific tables to separate physical disks..." and you want to
move the whole database.

Hi All,
I have two MySQL databases and I would like to place each one of them on
a separated disk, and backup each one of them separately.
I understand I need to use the "One file per table" option, right? It
will effect all the databases.
How do I place each database on a different volume? Do I use file link?
How to do it on Windows platform?
Thanks, Reuven
