Re: MySql backup and restore.

[John Barton <jbarton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You dont need a script or command to restore the database, mysqlhotcopy
just creates a copy of your database files (.MYI, etc.) in the
/pathToTheBackupDirectory/. It basicaly performs the same function as the
unix command cp, only it does the necessary locking, etc.
