I know all the questions I've been posting lately seem to be more mysql based than PHP based but this is the best forum I have found for these kinda questions and you all have a great deal of knowledge in this area.

alright, theres a command called mysqlhotcopy that I tried using but it keeps giving me errors in my shell script. Has anybody used this command and can you show me some syntax for it. What I have is...

mysqlhotcopy dbName /this/is/where/it/should/go;

and its giving me an error
//
Bareword found where operator expected at ./backitup.pl line 15, near "/home/sit
es"
(Missing operator before tes?)
syntax error at ./backitup.pl line 15, near "/this/is"
Execution of ./backitup.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
