You are probably out of luck if what you are looking to do it backup just what has changed in the database. Due to how innodb is stored any backup software would backup the entire data file. It might not even be able to do a good job at it. I have backups that do mysqldumps of the databases. These work pretty well. They are run off of a slave that it's only purpose is to replicate for the backups. We use to run without replication and it sucked! There might be other options out there but I haven't seen them. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
