Repository backup and restore

[liso]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to backup reposiory from linux and restore it on windows.

I've backedup alf_data directory, now I'm battling to backup mysql database.

How can I backup linux database and restore it on windows?

Thanks in advance.

That's not really an Alfresco question since its to do with mySql.  

Why the battle, what's the problem with the usual steps which are to dump your database with mysqldump followed by an import?
Your O.S. should be irrelevant although the defaults values for collation order and character set can change depending on platform.
