Speaking about backuping, and also about databases like MySQL (in
another linux-il thread), let me ask you (you=linux-il subscribers)
to share your experience with backuping file-systems which include
running databases. I know that there are special backup methods for
databases. Do you use them? Are there special backup tools (e.g.
BRU2000, etc.) which support databases and/or even know how to speak
with them so backups can be done during normal running of the
database? And is there any way to backup databases incrementally?
Imagine a database of many megabytes, with some records modified
daily; It is not acceptable that the whole database should be copied
daily, and there must be a better way...
Thanks,
