Mysql backup
- Thread starter ashz
- Start date
I usually just tar up the mysql dir. Probably not the safest thing to do if people are currently using it but in my situations nobody is ever using it when I do it so there are no open sessions or locks.
On unix machines just do:
tar -cvf mysqlbak.tar /var/lib/mysql
The official way isn't very hard to do either.. I just do this because it faster for me.
The mysql documentation has a good walkthrough.
Hope that helps! -Dustin
