Hi,
This mormimg I reported an error with mysql and table instances. I
fixed it, but it was recommended that I restore from a backup.
So, I went into mythbuntu-control-center and used it's backup-restore
tool. I've been doing daily backups for years. No problem.
I do a backup, just in case, and then I do a restore of yesterdays backup.
I have now lost YEARS of mythbuntu data. The mythbuntu backups didn't
backup my databases, even though I told it to. Yeah, yeah, I should
have verified the backups, but I didn't. This is great.
I am not a happy man. /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg is empty. My
'backups' have this in them:
# tar -tf mythbuntu-system-backup_mythserver_20140708-1700_MBE_YESDB.tar
etc/mythtv/config.xml
etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
etc/lirc/lircd.conf
etc/lirc/hardware.conf
etc/hostname
etc/hosts
tmp/mythbuntu-bare/
tmp/mythbuntu-bare/mythconverg-1317-20140708170003.sql.gz
Is there a way I can at least save all my recordings?
