Yes, you can do it like this:
Prompt> mysqldump --add-drop-table --host=source.IP.addr.spec -uuser -ppassword databasename | mysql -uuser -ppassword I've found that it helps things if you add --no-data to the source side on the first pass, then remove that clause and run it again.

I would like to backup databases from a linux MySQL server to another linux machine on the same private network but I don' see in the docs how I can do this with mysqlhotcopy or mysqldump. Is there any way to do this besides using ftp. Any help would be appreicated.
