After initially being advised that it was not possible to backup the NetSight database on the command line, thus automating the process, I have determined the command that NetSight uses backup the database.
/usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/mysql/bin/mysqldump --defaults-file=/usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/mysql/my.ini --hex-blob --user=netsight --password=<PASSWORD> --lock-tables --extended-insert --quick --no-create-info --complete-insert --result-file=<RESULT FILE LOCATION> netsight I have successfully restored from a backup made using this command, but before I turn it into an automated process I'd like to be sure that it is safe to do so. Does anyone else currently do backups in a similar fashion? -- Lucas Hazel <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Communications Systems Officer (Networks) Communications Infrastructure Information Technology University of New England Armidale NSW 2351 Phone +61267732666 Mobile +61407569330 Skype lucashazelune "Clothes make the man.
