Re: [MonetDB-users] Database backup/restore

Bharani, I was trying to move the data files across the machines. On the same machine I was able to do so. On 7/27/07, Bharani wrote:

Hi,

I works for me. How did you start your MonetDB server on the second m/c?

I created two tables (1M and 10M) and realised that the default MonetDB installation is keeping the BAT in C Drive ( Windows ). So i simply moved the dbfarm to D and started MoentDB server with this

"D:\Software\MonetDB\bin\mserver5.exe" --set "prefix=D:\Software\MonetDB" --set "exec_prefix=D:\Software\MonetDB" --dbfarm="D:\applications\monetdb\data\MonetDB5\dbfarm" --set "sql_logdir=D:\applications\monetdb\data\MonetDB5\sql_logs" --dbinit="include sql;"

and thatz all. I can see the tables :)

Hope that helps

Thanks Bharani

Yes. I did after Colin informed about the same. But still I don't see the table and the data. I am still missing something.

Hi,

Hi, first comment. Did you also move the sql-log directory to the other machine?

opened the database on Machine-2 but there is no table/data on Machine2 even though the directory contents between the 2 machines appear the same. Please let me know if I am missing something.

I also made sure that Machine-2 is not creating the database in any other location, except the location where I copied all the files.

The idea here is to create the database on one machine and then move the database to different machine using simple file system COPY.

Thanks,
