Hi, Using a sample database, I have tablea and tableb. I populate tablea with some records and I can see the tablea.MYD file size increase on the drive, while tableb.MYD remains at zero bytes.
Then I make a backup: mysqlhotcopy -u username -p password sample ./backup Next I modify the database: I delete the records from tablea and insert records in tableb and observe tableb file size increase on the drive, then I remove the sample directory inside /var/lib/mysql which contains the sample database Now I restore it like this: mv backup/sample . and I see the tableb.MYD file get adjusted back to zero, as it was before the modification, yet when I look at the database through mysql and through mysqlcc, it still shows the modified database! Anyone know why it isn't restoring to the original backup ?!? Thanx, Abuzar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
