[mythtv-users] Mysql backup

[Paul Woodward]

Hi All,

My linux box has died horribly - it refuses to start the network and I can't figure out what is up with it. My only remaining option after a ton of hacking seems to be a reinstall.

My question is how can I back up my mysql database - I have a 2nd drive that is for data only. I don't know if the service is running as even the loop-back address is dead.

I have a standard install of Mandrake 9.2.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks, Paul
