Strange... I get: mysql> backup tb_name1, tb_name2 to 'c:\temp'; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'tb_name1, tb_name2 to 'c:\temp'' at line 1 This is because the correct syntax is "BACKUP TABLE..." > What I have to do in this case. You should find out what error 2 means... use the perror utility: C:\mysql\bin>perror 2 Error code 2: No such file or directory Are you sure you have a directory called "c:\temp"? Also, in mysql you have to escape backslashes, because backslash _is_ the escape character... use double backslashes: "C:\\temp" I don't have a "c:\temp" folder, when I try this on my w2k, mysql version 3.23.30-gamma, I get this: mysql> backup table testme to 'c:\\temp'; +--------------+--------+----------+------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +--------------+--------+----------+------------------+ | test2.testme | backup | status | Operation failed | +--------------+--------+----------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) ...and when I use an existing directory: mysql> backup table testme to 'c:\\trash'; +--------------+--------+----------+----------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +--------------+--------+----------+----------+ | test2.testme | backup | status | OK | +--------------+--------+----------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.02 sec) I tried to change permissions on the .frm file, so that mysql can not read it, then I got Msg_text: "Can't find file: '.\test2\testme.frm' (errno: 13)" C:\mysql\bin>perror 13 Error code 13: Permission denied This does probably not answer your question, but hopefully I helped you to get a little bit further with the problem... :) -- Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
