BD,
Sorry I can't help you with your corrupted data but here are some related
links for backing up MySQL data the proper way:
There are also some good "canned" shell scripts out there tha do what you
want as well.
It is a good idea to stop the server or lock the tables when copying or
backing up
Correct ownership of the files helps a lot. duh.
I'll do some more checking into the right way to back up this database after
I catch a few hours sleep. I just know that rsync is not the best way

Is there any way at all to salvage tables that have been backed up using
just rsync (straight copy). The original database died, and the guy that set
up the backups just used rsync to do all the backups and didn't do anything
special for the database.
