MySQL Data

Mac OS X Server version 10.3.9 preinstalled version 4.0.18 of MySQL. Server version 10.4
preinstalls MySQL version 4.0.20.

To migrate your MySQL databases from one computer to another, you can use the

mysqldump

command from a Terminal window. To back up the data, type:

mysqldump -p table > backup-file.sql

or

mysqldump --opt database > backup-file.sql

Additional instructions for database backup and restore can be found in the MySQL
documentation at www.mysql.com.

Mail Database

If you want to reuse the mail database and mail store, stop mail service if it’s running
and save files the database and store. By default:

 The mail database resides in /var/imap/.
 The mail store resides in /var/spool/imap/. You can back up individual mail storage

folders or the entire mail store.

The

ditto

command-line tool is useful for backing up mail files. See its man page for

information about it.
