I'm using the following syntax to backup one of my Mysql databses using mysqlhotcopy:
#/usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy --allowold MyDatabase MyDatabase_copy There is no error message & there is no difference between the two folders /var/lib/mysql/MyDatabase & /var/lib/mysql/MyDatabase_copy when I do a diff on them. I can connect to the "MyDatabase_Copy" database. However, I'm unable to list any tables on the backedup database "MyDatabase_copy". What could be the problem here? Is there something else I'm missing here that I'm supposed to do? Anybody ? Thanks, Ashwin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
