I would like to cron my backups... I currently have the following items on my list: mysql, ldap, various files/directories, kerberos, etc.
I'm needing the following questions answered: 1. How to 'cleanly'/securely propagate mysql backup user credentials to mysqldump. This will be a user with full select abilities I guess. Would rather not have this in the script file, although if script file is owned by root, I guess this is ok, right? 2. How to make mysql r-o while dump is going on. If I had two mysql servers in a cluster, I guess I could bring down the clone, dupe it, then bring it back up and re-synchronize...I guess. But I only have one server...I guess same problem applies except for re-sync part. I've seen a few offerings from Arkeia? and InnoDB, but I am a poor (and unemployed!) developer and would rather roll my own solution for now...any urls I can be pointed to? thanks in advance... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
