=head1 DESCRIPTION

mysqlhotcopy is designed to make stable copies of live MySQL databases.

Here "live" means that the database server is running and the database
may be in active use. And "stable" means that the copy will not have
any corruptions that could occur if the table files were simply copied
without first being locked and flushed from within the server.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item --checkpoint checkpoint-table

As each database is copied, an entry is written to the specified
checkpoint-table.  This has the happy side-effect of updating the
MySQL update-log (if it is switched on) giving a good indication of
where roll-forward should begin for backup+rollforward schemes.

The name of the checkpoint table should be supplied in database.table format.
The checkpoint-table must contain at least the following fields:

=over 4

  time_stamp timestamp not null
  src varchar(32)
  dest varchar(60)
  msg varchar(255)

=back

=item --suffix suffix

Each database is copied back into the originating datadir under
a new name. The new name is the original name with the suffix
appended. 

If only a single db_name is supplied and the --suffix flag is not
supplied, then "--suffix=_copy" is assumed.

=item --allowold

Move any existing version of the destination to a backup directory for
the duration of the copy. If the copy successfully completes, the backup 
directory is deleted - unless the --keepold flag is set.  If the copy fails,
the backup directory is restored.

The backup directory name is the original name with "_old" appended.
Any existing versions of the backup directory are deleted.

=item --keepold

Behaves as for the --allowold, with the additional feature 
of keeping the backup directory after the copy successfully completes.

=item --flushlog

Rotate the log files by executing "FLUSH LOGS" after all tables are
locked, and before they are copied.

=item --regexp pattern

Copy all databases with names matching the pattern.  

=item -?, --help

Display helpscreen and exit

=item -u, --user=#         

user for database login if not current user

=item -p, --password=#     

password to use when connecting to server

=item -P, --port=#         

port to use when connecting to local server

=item -S, --socket=#         

UNIX domain socket to use when connecting to local server

=item  --noindices          

don't copy index files

=item  --method=#           

method for copy (only "cp" currently supported)

=item -q, --quiet              

be silent except for errors

=item  --debug

Debug messages are displayed 

=item -n, --dryrun

Display commands without actually doing them

=back

=head1 WARRANTY

This software is free and comes without warranty of any kind. You
should never trust backup software without studying the code yourself.
Study the code inside this script and only rely on it if I<you> believe
that it does the right thing for you.

Patches adding bug fixes, documentation and new features are welcome.

=head1 TO DO

Allow a list of tables (or regex) to be given on the command line to
enable a logically-related subset of the tables to be hot-copied
rather than force the whole db to be copied in one go.

Extend the above to allow multiple subsets of tables to be specified
on the command line:

  mysqlhotcopy db newdb  t1 t2 /^foo_/ : t3 /^bar_/ : +

where ":" delimits the subsets, the /^foo_/ indicates all tables
with names begining with "foo_" and the "+" indicates all tables
not copied by the previous subsets.

Add option to lock each table in turn for people who don't need
cross-table integrity.

Add option to FLUSH STATUS just before UNLOCK TABLES.

Add support for other copy methods (eg tar to single file?).

Add support for forthcoming MySQL ``RAID'' table subdirectory layouts.

Add option to only copy the first 65KB of index files. That simplifies
recovery (recovery with no index file at all is complicated).
