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.

Subject: Backup conventions
Hi, I'm a new user of MySQL on Linux.
I have been an Oracle DBA; and know that anyone familiar with Oracle takes
backup procedures very seriously
Anyone have recommendations for nightly backup procedures for MySQL
(transactional) databases? The literature seems a little ambiguous on
this.
I did 'turn on' the general, binary and error logs. Does anyone shut down
the MySQL daemon regularly? Anyone use mysqldump, or do folks simply use
a
file system backup? We have tons of databases and tons of tables, so I'm
not really considering the lock/flush procedure on tables...
Any suggestions?
