Re: Low priority copy?

[Chris (GEAE, CBTS) Wagner]

Mysqlhotcopy can copy the files anywhere.  Just have it copy under ur
MySQL data directory and the new copy will be visible instantly.  e.g.
/var/lib/mysql/data/offline_copy  U will instantly see a new database
named "offline_copy" with the copy of ur table in it.
