Hi All

I am busy investigating some options relating to the backup for MySQL databases when they get quite large.

When using the MySQL enterprise, there is the option to use the MySQL enterprise backup as it is part of the Enterprise license.

However, when using the GA (freely available) versions, the options for backups on large databases seems to be a bit limited.

Using mysqldump and restores on an 80-100GB database seems a bit unpractical as the restore times seems to get quite long as well as the backup times.



Does anybody have some ideas on backup strategies that can be investigated in this regard?

Just for information, the data in these databases are very crucial data and thus up to 2 years of data needs to be kept in the database for easy retrieval and thus archiving is limited to data older than 2 years while the database receives about 1mil entries per day.


    Any ideas would be appreciated.

Regards
