NOTE - If you restore the database onto a fresh install or an upgraded install, you will need to update your tasks (if you have any). Run the below.

Moving the Database Files on Windows
Sometimes users don't want the actual MySQL data on their C Drive. An example of moving the files to G Drive is below. Note - the MySQL server itself is left on C Drive, only the database data files are moved.
First, open a command prompt with Administrator rights, then run the below commands.
Code Block |
---|
net stop mysql
xcopy C:\xampp\mysql\data G:\data /O /X /E /H /K
move C:\xampp\mysql\data C:\xampp\mysql\data.bak
mklink /J C:\xampp\mysql\data G:\data
net start mysql |
NOTE - We have not deleted the files in the original c:\xampp\mysql\data directory. This is left to the user to do when they are happy the files (now on G Drive) are working as intended.
To reverse the procedure (assuming you still have your original files in c:\xampp\mysql\data.bak, again open a command prompt with Administrator rights, then run the below commands.
Code Block |
---|
net stop mysql
rmdir c:\xampp\mysql\data
move c:\xampp\mysql\data.bak c:\xampp\mysql\data
net start mysql |
NOTE - the actual data in g:\data has not been deleted and is left for the user to do.
Restoring the database on another machine
First back-up the database as above.
On the new machine, install MySQL.
For all steps, you will need to know the MySQL root users password.
- If MySQL root user has a password, all commands below should use the -p switch so you can input the password.
- If MySQL root user does not have a password, use as below.
Create a new instance of a database
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE openaudit;" |
Create the Open-AudIT user.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
mysql -u root -e "CREATE USER openaudit@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'openauditpassword';" |
And allow the user access to the database.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openaudit.* TO openaudit@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'openauditpassword'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" |
Copy the database backup file to the new machine (in this case to /tmp/openaudit_mysql.sql).
Restore the database, as above.
