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 ?


Thank you 
Mauricio
