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 ?

Thanks

Michael
