Ask HN: Incremental database snapshots?

1 pointsittan13y ago2 comments

Hey Everyone, For us its very easy to backup and restore a full database. It seems extremely hard to create snapshots of a database. I was wondering if anyone had any experience working on incremental database snapshots, that can later be applied in order to restore a full database. We use mysql most.

Thanks in advance

xtrabackup (http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/) is the way to go in my opinion. you can create full and incremental backups...
