What about binary files? [was: Re: transfer huge mysql db]

2008-01-29 Thread Erik Giberti
All, InnoDB and MyISAM tables are platform independent, is there a reason why transferring the actual binary files from one system (or mount point) is not advised? From like OS to like OS, this seems like it should be okay and you'll only get into trouble with Float/Double. MySQL Document

A binary copy will require that you shut down the db, rather than just lock some tables for a while, which may be more desirable. I've always found the mysql compression to be a bit weak over a slow link. The way I tend to do this sort of thing is: mysqldump --opt -B dbname | bzip2 -9c | ssh
