Add [mysqld] log-bin to my.cnf. To do the roll-forward from a backup you can use the mysqlbinlog program to pipe in the SQL statements in the binlog files: mysqlbinlog --position=766567578 yourhostname-bin.123 | mysql InnoDB Hot Backup (a non-free program) uses the redo log files of InnoDB (the ib_logfile files) in a similar fashion to construct a consistent backup of a running database. But to do the roll-forward from the backup you use the MySQL binlog files. > I haven't found any information on this feature for InnoDB, but I still > would like to consult you guys > before passing a definitive NO CAN DO to the managament of the project here > :) > > > Tnx for you input and time, > CB.
