Hello list, I apologize if I somehow highjack the thread. I just want to tell the list for further references one way (my way) of doing mysql backup and to ask you if it's safe or not.
I have 2 server: one of which is the master (named for the sake of brevity with M) in mysql terms and the second being the slave (named with S). I use mysqldump on S and deliver the tarballs to a remote location. I first stop the slave, do mysqldump and start the slave. Is this approach safe? Some might argue that it's not necessary or even expensive somehow to have 2 boxes *but* in my case I have 2 servers in production and one backups the other. thanks for your input and have a great day, v _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
