Hello all!<br><br>I have searched through the archives and sadly the only references I am finding are that sometimes the attachments table does not backup properly without setting a binary switch.<br><br>I am running a backup of mysql (everything in it as the server only runs RT 3.4.6) with:<br>
<br>mysqldump -u root -p p@55w0rd -A | gzip > ./rt346.dbdump.gz<br><br>Then, on my restore system, I run:<br><br>zcat rt346.dbdump.gz | mysql -u root -p p@55w0rd<br><br>The restore runs just fine.<br><br>However after the restore all comments on all tickets are not visible.<br>
<br>I checked on my account rights and I am in <i></i>AdminGroup, AdminGroupMembership, EditSavedSearches, ModifyOwnMembership, SeeGroup, and ShowSavedSearches. But still I see no comments.<br><br>I would like to use mysql to query the comments field, but I am not sure which table that field is in. I also suspect that comments may be stored in non-clear text format as grepping the dump file for strings that should be in the comments field is not working.<br>
<br>I have tried using the -T switch to export, exporting attachments table separately, etc, but all to no avail.<br><br>This worked last time I tried it about 7 months ago. And now we want to upgrade to lastest and greatest RT, but we need to be sure to preserve our existing data. The 1st step in that process is to restore the data to a new server.<br>
<br>Any ideas guys? Anything I could tell you that would help diagnose?<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>"il n'y a pas de liberté s'il y a dépendance"<br> --Theobalt<br>
