Hi Sorry if I'm just being feeble minded here but I can't get this to work.
First I take a copy of my database using: mysqlhotcopy --allowold --noindices db_name /path/path using the '--noindices' since it says "--noindices Don't include full index files in copy to make the backup smaller and faster The indexes can later be reconstructed with myisamchk -rq.. " in the manual. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to restore the index files with myisamchk. All I get is "myisamchk: error: 'blabla.MYD' is not a MyISAM-table" or "myisamchk: error: 'blabla.frm' is not a MyISAM-table". It seems like I have missed something here, but I can't find exactly what I'm missing from reading the manual. Some help would be appreciated Erlend Stromsvik --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
