Greetings! I would like to know whether in MySQL I can do an online (hot) backup of innodb type tables using a 'free' (GPL) tool. Or even if it is possible by writing my own shell script as you can do in Oracle with:
alter tablespace <tablespace_name_1> begin backup; then use cp to copy the tablespace file alter tablespace <tablespace_name_1> end backup; alter tablespace <tablespace_name_2> begin backup; and so on for all tablespaces. Thanks in advance.
