Title: MySQL weasy backup
Post by: mysqlman101 on September 03, 2004, 07:49:00 PM
hey,  I found such an easy way to backup your databases on MySQL if it crashes.  First, take the folder data from mysql dir, then copy it where ever u want it, then its backed up.  To restore, replace the old fiolder with the new!  my mysql crashed and i did this and i was like WHOA!  All my users and databases were restored.  Oh yeah, to delete the mysql service, the key to servicesw is  /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurentConfig/services , delete the mysql folder, and bingo ( u have to do this to reinstall mysql, i learnedf that the hard way  :D lol
