Hi folks,
Does anybody have any hints or tips for dumping or performing live backups of large mySQL databases? I've heard about mysqlhotcopy, but I think that's being a bit too simplistic for my needs..
Any reason not to use mysqldump?
Alternatively, what about using replication? - this seems to be very stable now...
