[mythtv-users] MB Blew up - How do I move the database to thenew system?

[Jim - MythTV]

copying the mythconverg folder over is the way to go about it.  I do it all 
the time. . but what I do is night do a mysql dump of the tables and then I 
store those ona  different drive and then once i get everything reinstalled 
I use webmin to import the .sql file.   I had to do this recently.  lost my 
recordings drive.  I had to manually remove the names of the recordings I 
had recorded.. but other than that once I was back nup and running it just 
hummed along

if you have any questions on mysql  drop me a personal email and I will 
gladly help.

John,

Thanks for the clue.. but can you expand a little?

I'm no linux newbie - I know enough to be dangerous... VERY
dangerous ;-)  However, I seem to remember something from my past
about chroot, but all I can find currently is part of bind..

I'm going to try just copying mythconverg to the new drive.. but I
think I'd rather do things the "right" way - besides, all I really
want is the program data the rest of the settings etc has already
been taken care of ..

btw:  I also switched to mythdora running w/ ratpoison - seems to be
functioning VERY nicely.

Thanks,

- Michael
