Hello, I am new to mysql and am in the middle of upgrading our mysql server to the latest release. Upon viewing our currently data directory I noticed a large amount of hostname-bin-### files.
Some of hostname-bin-### have time stamps of January -- from the documentation I have read I can uses these to restore mysql data. So am I correct in thinking that I can safely backup any hostname-bin-### files older then let's say a week to a backup server and then delete them from the data directory ? We are running mysql-3.23 build 50. -- Michael Gale -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
