Hi!

Sorry to bother you with MySQL, but I don't have a clue about it...

We are running a little MySQL database here and nobody is really familiar with it (to put it politely). Now we are discussing a backup "strategy" for it. The word is that you simply need to copy the data files to a different disk (or tape) and that's it. Is that right? Even when the database is running and open for users?

Does anybody have some hints on how to back up MySQL databases?

Thanks,
Helmut
