If you choose to copy the files I would ensure that you are getting the innodb binary logs as well if they do not exists in the mysql data directory. The innodb backup tool or even mysqldump may provide a more consistent snapshot. ... If you restore to the master and you want to ensure a replication is starts again one solution is: Master Server: *Apply backup *Clear binary logs *Start master
Slave Server: *Apply backup *Clear binary and relay logs *Delete master.info file *Start slave *Check to see if slave is running and connected to the master -----Original Message----- From: Renato Cramer To: Lista MySQL (E-mail) Sent: 6/3/04 6:52 AM Subject: My question is too idiot for nobody answer? > -----Mensagem original----- > De: Renato Cramer > Enviada em: quarta-feira, 2 de junho de 2004 11:07 > Para: Lista MySQL (E-mail) > Assunto: Restore from Backup done with Replication features > > Dear Friends, > > Considering what a backup is done with the method following: > 1.
