mysqld: Incorrect information in file

[sreeninair]

Hello,

I am getting this error in my mysql log file.

=================
140707 10:46:20 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './lindseya_drupal_Old/field_data_field_email.frm'
140707 10:46:20 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './lindseya_drupal_Old/themekey_ui_author_theme.frm'
140707 10:46:37 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './lindseya_drupal_Old/field_data_field_email.frm'
140707 10:46:37 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './lindseya_drupal_Old/themekey_ui_author_theme.frm'
=================

This is not a database, its just a backup of database 'lindseya_drupal'. My question is what will be the impact of saving backups of database in data directory of mysql itself.

Thanks
Sreeni

Hello

You should move that directory to a location outside of the MySQL data directory. Otherwise, it's going to result in warnings and conflicts like what's listed in your MySQL error log. Note that "mysqldump" is a useful utility for backing up a database, as opposed to simply copying the database directory.

Thank you.
