Hi, I'm a new user of MySQL on Linux.

I have been an Oracle DBA; and know that anyone familiar with Oracle takes backup procedures very seriously....

Anyone have recommendations for nightly backup procedures for MySQL (transactional) databases? The literature seems a little ambiguous on this.

I did 'turn on' the general, binary and error logs. Does anyone shut down the MySQL daemon regularly? Anyone use mysqldump, or do folks simply use a file system backup? We have tons of databases and tons of tables, so I'm not really considering the lock/flush procedure on tables...

Any suggestions?
