Sorry, I think I confused you. A batch file, calling mysqlhotcopy with the proper parameters is the way I would go. If I had to use Win2k, I'd use the Task Scheduler to run the batch file.
As to the parameters for myslqhotcopy, I don't know. I would suggest you read the help file or type mysqlhotcopy without any parameters and see if it gives you some help. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stringham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 4:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Looking for some help What would you suggest?
