http://www.unix.com – I have a RHEL 4.8 box that is showing signs of imminent hardware failure, so my boss wanted to backup the file system and restore it on another RHEL 4.8 that was just built. He added the following entry in /etc/exports on the destination machine: Code: /export * (rw,async,no_root_squash) and mounted that share on the source machine under /temp and ran the following command to the initiate the dump: Code: dump -0f backup and then he left for vacation for the next two weeks. It took about 60 hours for the dump to complete because the source file system was 1.4TB, so when I 'cd /expo (HowTos)

hi all

I am getting following error while taking backup using the command

I created a new repository A.

Ran svnsync init with repository B as the source.

Loaded a dump file from B (rev 0 to 1690 of 1801) to A.

Then tried to run svnsync.

I have a dump file in my system that has confidential data in it. I tried using the filefrag command to open it.

What exactly does the default ibdata1 file store that does not exist in a mysqldump?

I've got a backup/rsync job that stores dump files of a MySQL 5.5 database on a remote server for rotating daily/weekly backups.

However, I am not currently backing up the ibdata1 file itself -- is this a nightmare waiting to happen or are dump files enough?

Thanks
