Another way to do this is get a Windows type box, use MySqlAdmin on the
windows box (Free perdy GUI download :-) ) and have it schedule the backups.
The backups end up as TXT files that compress wonderfully, and restore
perfectly.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up large SQL DB's
for backing up MySQL databases, why not run a second MySQL and sync them on
a schedule? Then if you have a problem you dont even need to restore, you
can just switch to the other server or restart the first machine and sync
the other way? If you do this you can sync, then stop the backup so you can
dump that to disk/tape/etc etc.
Thoughts?

That is the virtue of the rsync algorithm.
