Thanks for the reference.  I should have mentioned I already looked at
this.

My bosses requirements are:     ANY product must be supported by
IBM/Tivoli for usage on a TSM server. Point-in-time recovery is mandatory,
or there is no point to using any product.

>From what I have read (correct me if I am wrong) about using mysqldump, it
doesn't do/support this process.

Hi Zoltan,

Take a look at the "Backing Up Databases Using ADSMPIPE and the TSM API:
Examples Using Linux" Redbook -
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/redp3980.html?Open


It has a section on backing up MySQL.

Regards,

This is a 2-part question:

#1 - Has anybody heard of any rumors (or a "we are planning to") that
IBM/Tivoli will have a TDP for MySQL?

#2 - How do you backup MySQL?  We are increasingly expanding MySQL use and
since IBM currently doesn't offer a TDP for MySQL, we are looking at other
commercial products like Zmanda Recovery Manager (
http://www.zmanda.com/tivoli-mysql-backup.html)
