OK, I can see the login of that I suppose :) (though I think I defined the plugin directory because it was warning me that no plugin directory was defined...) I'd actually planned at one point to use the bpipe-fd plugin for my Catalog backup, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet because I made a discovery of something called mysql-snapback. It's a Python tool that knows how to create snapshots on a couple of different filesystems, including ZFS, and understands how to FULLY quiesce InnoDB tables. So instead of having to lock the tables and dump the databases, which may take quite a while on large databases or even just on a large catalog, it can quiesce the databases, take a fast snapshot, and release the DB within a few seconds, then you just back up the snapshot and free it. In short, it looks pretty interesting. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
