Subject: [mSQL] Backing up msql, the easy way ?
Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 04:46:23 -0500 (CDT)

I have read about msqldump on the online msql manual and have wondered
why would anyone want to use that method ? (Read slow and painful)
than say, tarring the up /usr/local/Minerva/msqldb/mydatabase directory.

I have used this method to move the database from one system to
another and it worked flawlessly (so far). I am now just wondering
if I am missing anything and will run into problems later ?

Thanks.
