Hi, I have a corrupt, but useable mythconverg database. For the last few months the backup has been failing, causing mysql and mythbackend to stop. Instead of just restoring a backup of the database when the problem 1st occured, I found that restarting the mysql server and mythbackend worked around the problem.
This became a routine before using myth and wasn't really an issue until a new version of mysql came along. When trying to install the upgrade to mysql, it fails when running queries against the mythconverg database.
Oh no, now I have many recordings that I don't want to lose the info for, no backup of mythconverg and no way to upgrade the mysql server. I have engaged in the requisite number of self recriminations, I used to professionally support enterprise servers, so I am aware of the consequences of not having good backups etc.
Of course I also knew that this would never happen to me.....
Help
Regards
