Hi I'm using, Mysql version 4.1.1 with InnoDB under SuSE linux 8.2 I don't know if this is the right place to ask. If not please point me in the right direction.
I'm performing nightly backups of the datadir. So my backups include a database and the Mysql databases themselves ( also I think there are somo innodb files, I think. For this porpouse I'm using tar and then gzip. So every backup leaves .tar.gz file containing the whole datadir. My questions are: 1- Are these backups usable in case I need to restore the datadir ? 2- As they are Full backups, I'm starting to think in doing some kind of incremental backups in order to use less space for storage, is that possible ?
