Hello, Right now we are running a mysql-max db with InnoDb for transaction tracking. This is a older version of mysql running mysql-3.23 build 50. We are planning on upgrading to mysql 4.0 latest in a couple of weeks (hopefully).
Anyways in order to do proper backups with InnoDB I am going to use the following method: 1. Make current mysql server master 2. Setup secondary mysql server as a slave so nightly I can bring down the slave to do binary backups. The slave server will be on a backup box and is only for backup purposes. It will not be uses by any production system. The question for the list is ... can I use the latest version of mysql on the slave server so when we upgrade the master in a few weeks / month the master and slave will be at the same version ? Or does the slave have to be version 3.23 build 50 ?
