[Bacula-users] Mysql databases backup
Hi! This is not really a problem, I'm just asking which is the best way to do a thing. I've to backup about 13GB of Mysql Databases, so I 've 2 possibile solutions: 1) include /var/lib/mysql in fileset resource 2) run mysqldump --all-databases before job Should I stop mysqld before a backup? Which is the best way to do so? Any other suggestion is well accepted! :) Thanks!

RE: [Bacula-users] Mysql databases backup
Hello Giuseppe, i would suggest the second approach (mysqldump) because bacula is using the database (the director) and if you stop mysql. :-)) btw... it's never a good idea to save the database-storage without any procedure to lock databases before (and i don't know if there's such procedure in mysql). christian -- I sense much NT in you, NT leads to Blue Screen.

This would be quite a bit faster than mysqldump and may do what you need it to do given the size of your DB's. You can find out about it here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlhotcopy.html I'm not sure of the version that you are using but this hasn't changed much since it first came in. There is also a java version shown on the web page.
