+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysqlhotcopy\fR
+is a Perl script that was originally written and contributed by Tim Bunce\&. It uses
+FLUSH TABLES,
+LOCK TABLES, and
+cp
+or
+scp
+to make a database backup\&. It is a fast way to make a backup of the database or single tables, but it can be run only on the same machine where the database directories are located\&.
+\fBmysqlhotcopy\fR
+works only for backing up
+MyISAM
+and
+ARCHIVE
+tables\&. It runs on Unix and NetWare\&.
+.PP
+To use
+\fBmysqlhotcopy\fR, you must have read access to the files for the tables that you are backing up, the
+SELECT
+privilege for those tables, the
+RELOAD
+privilege (to be able to execute
+FLUSH TABLES), and the
+LOCK TABLES
+privilege (to be able to lock the tables)\&.
