- stilist 17y agoFor me, at least, every time I reinstalled Leopard and restored with Time Machine MySQL's data would be gone.
- inklesspen 17y agoWas your MySQL installation configured to store data in any of the excluded directories? http://shiftedbits.org/2007/10/31/time-machine-exclusions/ http://shiftedbits.org/2007/10/31/time-machine-exclusions/
- idlewords 17y agoIf I understand correctly, Time Machine takes a binary snapshot (similar to rsync). With MySQL (and InnoDB specifically) the stuff on disk is not guaranteed to be in a consistent state while the server is running. The safest way to back up mysql is mysqldump.
