Hi Travis, > I have the database files, now how do I put them back into mysql?
mysqlhotcopy simply copies the data files to another directory. To restore them, terminate the mysql server and then copy the files back to the mysql data directory (e.g. /var/lib/mysql/<db name>). Note that mysqlhotcopy fails to backup all data if you use table handlers that use different files to store the data (like InnoDB does).
