Personally, I like webmin a lot ! I don't know the command it issues, but it's a browser app that can manage just about all aspects of a *nix box. The MySQL module can backup an active database. Once of the backup choices is whether to backup within a transaction. If chosen, bad data could result. ( if only part of the data is written when backup hits that table ) If told to not backup within a transaction, webmin will wait until that transaction completes in the event it runs against an open transaction. A corrupted database is not possible that way. Do keep in mind though, like any really complete administration tool, one can do a great deal of damage if used incorrectly. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Bizarreness is the essence of the exotic _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
