Create Database snapshot (1 reply)

Hi

I am trying to create a database snapshot as a starting point for replication. I am unable to use mysqldump as I am getting 'undeclared variable' errors when I try to import the .sql file on an identical server.

I have tried to copy the ibdata1, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 files and the database directory to the same location on another server where all versions are the same and ensuring that all permissions/owners are correct.

Buying the InnoDB Hot Backup tool is not an option atm.

Your advice appreciated.
