You might consider using mysqlhotcopy to get the files out, either on the master or the replica, as this is much quicker than mysqldump. If you do this on the master, then load the data into a separate server, you could export it out again as SQL if that was desirable. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlhotcopy.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
