Hi Backups/recovery procedures for MySQL are very simple, and efficient.
The approach I take, is to - Implement a replicated dual master and - Flush mysql db logs - Use mysqldump <db> | gzip -c > <db>.sql.gz at a quiet time - Copy mysql logs This is essentially, the same process one would use with oracle.
