As for the remotely hosted servers - as long as you have two IP addresses you can successfully replicate - even if one of those IP addresses is a local one.

For the rest of the databases on the server, it's not a big deal, they don't get much bigger than 10 megs or so... but that damned phpbb database for my writing forum site is *huge* When I'm using phpMyAdmin, it times out before it can create a dump... I've never tried it from the command line so I don't know how that'll work. I konw about replication, we use it a bit at work with MSSQL, but I'm not sure here... it's two servers but I'm fairly sure you can only access either of them from localhost since they're remotely hosted. I'm moving all my sites from a VPS to a full dedicated server. What, you don’t like the option of exporting the dump file from the source database, and just running it on the target database? ;)

MySQL will take care of the rest. It's called replication and is standard stuff with databases. JC all you have do is configure a master-slave relationship in MySQL between two servers.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else you could do. What, you don’t like the option of exporting the dump file from the source database, and just running it on the target database? ;)

I'm looking at doing that soon and it terrifies me. :-) but I definitely need to start making backup dumps of stuff.. everything but the DB gets backed up and the DB is the thing that really NEEDS to be backed up because it's the only thing that changes without the same changes happening on my PC.... great… now does anyone have any good tips on moving a 200+ meg mysql database from one remote server to another?
