However, I _strongly_ urge you to upgrade to 4.1 (or, even better, 5.0) as soon as possible, or to scrap your 3.23 and restart from scratch using 4.1 or 5.0. There have been so many improvements (both bug fixes and features) in comparison to 3.23 that I do not see any good reason to use that old version for which you will never get upgrades, as for any difficulty you will get the hint: Upgrade!

The user's manual says: 5.9.2.1 Backup Policy The following command makes a full backup . . : mysqldump --single-transaction --all-databases > backup_06082006.sql When I did this I got the message: unrecognized option '--single-transaction' So I tried the following: mysqldump --verbose --all-databases > backup_06082006.sql It seemed to work OK (no error messages) and created the file backup_0608200 6.sql According to the manual: 5.9.2.2 Using Backups for Recovery . . restoring it is very easy: mysql < backup_06082006.sql When I tried this I got the following error message: ERROR 1050 at line 19: Table 'Indian' already exists Do I need to delete the table 'Indian'?? I hope someone can tell me in a simple, clear way (minimum of commands, noth ing fancy) how to do a full backup and a full restore (I don't need partials). Thanks very much in advance. man mysqldump Has everything you need to know. And also, consider using an updated version, the one you're using is too old. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

Re: How to backup and restore
Hi Eugene, Good to hear from you. Should I use this on the creation or the restore?
