Asher told be that I have to use xbstream. The problem is that I can't find a binary for Solaris (neither in the solaris-package from percona nor in the web) and the source-package is not compiling (a known problem with the linker). As a work-around I plan to use a Debian-host now (at least for the decompressing), but I have to get a dump first :-). > Thanks for the update, DaB. No problem.
