[KLUG Members] MySQL pgSQL backups

[John Pesce]

Hi all,

I've inherited a web-server running a MySQL database and another
running a pgSQL database. Both have RH 7.0 on them with ext2 file-systems.

I would like to combine them on a newer server running RH 7.3 and ext3.
Unfortunately I've never worked with a database before.

Can I simply keep the configuration files and copy the data directory or
is there some database backup and restore process I need to use??

Thanks
