InnoDB

Hello  

Please correct me if I'm wrong.  

We previously had a mySQL server installed on the default C:Drive. We have now upgraded to a new box with a faster processor, new drives, etc. I have taken the C:Drive out of the original box, and slaved it into the new box.
I will install mySQL on the new box's C:Drvie. My backups are a couple of days old, so I want to transfer the databases as they exist to the new system drive.
I will copy the directories containing the databases from under the data directory (slave drive) to the newly installed data directory. I will also copy over the ibdata1 file, as well as the my.ini file. This will then give me working databases again?  

I tried this on my own computer, and it seems to work, but I want to be sure.  

Thanks you    

Shaun van Wyngaard
