I have few information, but i suppose that you are on performance border of your db server. So you haven't reserve for doing backup.
Send some few rows of command vmstat 1, before backup process and through backup process. How are these numbers: - queries per second ? - updates / selects rate ? What is you settings of variables ? - sync_binlog - innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit Have you raid with write cache enabled ? What are box params? Data size ? Index size ? 'show engine innodb status' isn't demanding query and it could say very usefull informations about state of your server. -- Filip Krejci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux - und Spass dabei! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
