First of all, there are many aspects of your problem. 1. The InnoDB uses transaction safe table types, and uses the log files to restore if anything goes wrong during the tsanasction. So it is almost impossible to have a permanent database error, that cannot be repaired by InnoDB itself. If My

Can you backup/restore just one MySQL database with InnoDB hot backup? From what I gather it's an all or nothing proposition. As I understand it, there's only one "tablespace" (with any number of data files) and all database tables of type 'InnoDB' are comingled in the one tablespace. Therefore, i

If your database is large enough then any sort of hot backup will lock the tables for too long. The method I use is to use LVM to take a snapshot of the MySQL partition while MySQL is stopped. All my attempts to snapshot a live MySQL database resulted in inconsistent results... The following is

Didn't read your last item before I fired my last message off. If mysqldump locks the table before it dumps then it is interupting service. If I have a high number of transactions they're blocked until the lock is released. Dave On Wed, Aug 29, 2001 at 10:52:26AM -0800, Joshua J. Kugler wrote: >

I'm doing a mysqldump and then backing up the resulting text file. Works fine, doesn't interupt anything, and doesn't have any problems with a live server. IIRC, mysqldump locks a table before it dumps, so there won't be any funny records. Or course, mysqldump could catch the database in the

What's the best way of doing a hot backup on a database? Our server is set up in such a way that it's not a simple matter to shut down apache/mysql and do the backup then. So, is it safe to just copy the mysql directories, or is there some recommended procedure for this? Matthew Walker System Adm
