With the mysqldump utility (comes with mysql) you can backup/restore any database. I don't know if you can tell it to dump all databases and their tables too.
If you've got root access, you can simply copy the 'data' (i.e: C:\mysql\data) from a server to another. good luck, Elias "Peter Janett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 026d01c26b95$0bf65f70$55285742@peters">news:026d01c26b95$0bf65f70$55285742@peters... > I'm upgrading a web server, and need to move all the MySQL data from the old > box to the new one.
