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,

Mark Yakushev

Subject:    [ADSM-L] TSM/TDP and MySQL



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 (
