Hello, For huge databases, a dump is really too slow to restore. mylvmbackup can take a consistent snapshot of the database. The backup is a bit longer, the backup file is bigger, restore is much faster ! Anyway, I use mydumper for small databases. I used to use mk-parallell-dump until it began to generate OOM errors. (maatkit team does not recommend mk-paralle-dump for production use) HTH.
