Hello,
from the InnoDB documentation "To be able to recover your InnoDB database to the present from the binary backup described above, you have to run your MySQL database with the general logging and log archiving of MySQL switched on. Here by the general logging we mean the logging mechanism of the MySQL server which is independent of InnoDB logs." http://www.vanderouderaa.nl/MySQL/doc/en/Backing_up.html What 'general logging and log archiving' does this paragraph refer to. is it the new bin logging. These bin files are very large and I'd rather not activate the bin-log if I don't have to. Are they important for crash recovery (server crash) in general or for innoDB in particular many thanks Murad -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
