Backing up MySQL tables
2003-04-02 14:56:05
I need to start backing up MySQL tables on one of my machines, but I've
heard that to you run the risk of table corruption if you just copy the
mysql directory while MySQL is running. Stopping the database is not an
option, and the only solution I've come up with is having another script do
a mysql dump and then backing up that. It seems like a waste of time and
resources to basically do 2 backups though. I was just wondering what
anyone here does for MySQL backups on their own systems?
