No, I didn't get any error messages on restoring the database that was |
| 19 |
created by the backup process that was included in the instructions. |
| 20 |
Also, the process for fixing the grant tables was fine. However, when I |
| 21 |
started mysql and tried to use the database, I was told that the |
| 22 |
database didn't exist and upon checking, I discovered that the only |
| 23 |
database that was there was "test". |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, in essence, the restore *did* work, but the backup just didn't pick |
| 26 |
up my database. |
