Hi, I have a situation where the box with a mysql server will not boot. But I can boot it from a CD and browse the hard drive and I can mount partitions so files and data are accessible. I want to somehow take the Mysql DB structure and content, copy it, and move it to a bootable working unit. Normally I'd run the script that puts it "all" into a comma delimited file that can be reconstituted at a later date. But in my case I can only copy and paste files from an unbootable unit to a working server and try to reconstitute it from there.
It is Ubuntu 10.4 server. Is what I want to do possible? What directories and files would I need to copy? First I would have a working Mysql server on the new unit then I assume I would copy to the new server and process the data if necessary...any help on how to proceed appreciated.
