This is really not a question for -ports. This is something you should be asking the MySQL folks. In fact, better yet, there's an entire section on how to backup/restore entire databases. Be aware that migrating your mysql/ database is a testy thing, and if at all possible, read the docs thoroughly or do it by hand. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/upgrade.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/mysqldump.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/disaster-prevention.html -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
