backup all the databases when mysql is not running

[ukagg]

Hi,

My hard disk has gone bad and data center has rebooted the server in single user mode with only networking and ssh enabled (that means mysql is not running). Then I backed up all the accounts to secondary drive using following command:-

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/cpbackup --force

But, now I find all the account backups are missing mysql databases backups.

Please advice how can I backup the mysql databases of all the users.

Regards

You will have to copy the files and hope they are intact:

cp -R /var/lib/mysql /pathtootherdrive/mysql

Other than either copying them to the new drive or scping them to another server, there isn't much choice here. If MySQL isn't running, a dump file cannot be created for each database.
