One way to do this would be to issue a 'stop slave;' on the slave you are taking a backup from just before the backup starts. Then issue a 'show slave status\G' to get the master log file and position. You can use this to setup the new slave properly.
ok, thanks, I was thinking it'd be a better solution.
btw, I have to get the Master_Log_File and Read_Master_Log_Pos or Relay_Master_Log_File and Exec_Master_Log_Pos to start the new slave correctly !?
may be my slave is not updated in 'realtime' thank you in advance MAS! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
