RE: restoring a database from tape
If the directory structure is the same and the snapshot is consistent then the answer is yes. If you do not want to purchase a commercial utility, one method is to schedule mysqldump, compress the file and then backup that file up. -Original Message- From: Ansari, Raza (GEI, GEFA) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Cc: Sent: 3/15/04 4:52 PM Subject: RE: restoring a database from tape Victor, Will this not work for Innodb tables?

restoring a database from tape
Hi, Recently we EOLed a machine that had a mysql instance. The /usr/local/mysql dir was backed up to tape before EOLing. Having now installed a new machine, we need to copy the old database from tape to the new machine. Mysql has been successfully installed on the new machine. To install the database, can I just copy the ../mysql/data directory from the tape to the corresponding dir on the new machine? thanks for your time. -M _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: restoring a database from tape
If the table types are all MyISAM and you took a consistent backup the answer is most likely yes.

Re: restoring a database from tape
You should not have any problem. The only caveat is ensure you have the same version and directory structure. Good Luck! Pat...
