<bug><id>44278</id><link>http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44278</link><status>Patch pending</status><category>Client</category><sdesc>mysqlhotcopy unable to backup schema with a hyphen in its name</sdesc><ldesc>mysqlhotcopy included in distribution 5.1.32 (and possibly previous) fails to backup MyISAM schemas which names include &#039;-&#039;. These schemas are stored in directories which are encoded to be file system neutral, thus those names differ. 

Executing mysqlhotcopy for such schemas results in following message:

Cannot open dir &#039;/data/mysql/a-b-c&#039;: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy line 289.

This breaks current backup process 100% and requires new regime to be devised.
