please help! cpanel & /var/lib/mysql

[sharmaine001]

My /var partition is small and i dont want to re partition it.

I know i can symlink /var/lib/mysql to a directory in /home

but the question are:

1. will it work?
2. will cpanel backup the mysql directory in /home? I am using the "backup" feature in cPanel and I back up the entire account and mysql directory to a remote FTP server. If I symlink /var/lib/mysql to say /home/mysql will the backup feature of cpanel properly backup the mysql data?

I hope cPanel guys can help me. Thank you

cPanel guys,

Any help? If I create a symlink, will the cPanel backup backup the mysql data?
