Oops, I Deleted My MySQL Binary Logs
One of the most panic-inducing moments for any database administrator is when MySQL refuses to star...
Symantec NetBackup now enables live backup of MySQL, using two solutions provided by Zmanda:
Zmanda MySQL Agent for NetBackup: Backup MySQL databases directly from MySQL servers to your NetBackup server. This backup method does not need a proxy server and, for many backup methods, does not require disk space for transient storage of backup images. MySQL backups and schedules are managed via the NetBackup GUI.
Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL, with NetBackup Option: This solution gives you the full functionality of Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL, including an intuitive search interface for MySQL binary logs to quickly identify the location for point-in-time recovery. MySQL DBAs can choose to keep a copy of their MySQL backups on the ZRM server, providing them with a quicker recovery process specific to MySQL, independent of the corporate backup and recovery infrastructure. Zmanda Recovery Manager provides a scalable interface to manage global backup and recovery of thousands of MySQL databases.
MySQL Agent for NetBackup from Zmanda is deeply integrated and certified with NetBackup using the XBSA API. The agent supports backup of MySQL versions 4.1 and 5.x. Both MySQL Community and Enterprise Editions are supported.
This agent does full, incremental and differential backups of MySQL. Data is backed up to media of your choice, managed by NetBackup. You can monitor the backup and restoration of MySQL databases using the NetBackup Operations Manager.
Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL – NetBackup Option allows IT, managers, to implement live backup of their MySQL databases with seamless integration with NetBackup. ZRM does full and incremental backups of MySQL. Data is backed up to media of your choice, managed by NetBackup.
Combined with Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL, this option provides full functionality of a database backup agent for NetBackup. This solution is designed by MySQL experts and system backup veterans at Zmanda and meets the needs of both the MySQL DBAs (e.g. point-in-time recovery of their databases) and System Administrators (e.g. managing retention policies of data archives).
