Hello,
I'm trying to make a daily database backup. When executing "mysqldump -
uxxx -pxxx database /home/backup/ddbb.sql -q &" the httpd server
gets blocked and my site is "offline" for 30 minutes. I also tried
using mysqlhotcopy, but with no success since it fails with error:
"DBD::mysql ::db do failed: Not unique table/alias: 'comments' at /usr/
bin/mysqlhotcopy line 466."
I'd like to make a daily MySQL backup, but without freezing my httpd
server. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Antoni Massó Mola

Are you perhaps using --locak-all-tables in the parameter list of the
mysqldump command ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html)?
To help us trouble shoot it would help if you would specify the command
line options you use and give us an estimate of the database and system
specs.
To prevent such problems I am not backing up my main server but use
replication to another server. To me it is no problem if the second
server to which the database is replicated is be offline for longer
periods, my main server should not, just like yours, more information
about replication can be gound in the MySQL manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication.html

Hello Jonathan,
Im using MySQL 5.0.21-log in a Linux 2.4.33grs-bipiv-ipv4-32 #1 i686
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz GNU/Linux.
I did not include the --lock-all-tables parameter when running the
mysqldump command. May this parameter be assigned in another MySQL
configuration file?
The cron job executed every day is "mysqldump -uxxx -pxxx database /
home/backup/ddbb.sql -q &".
I'll use replication as soon as we get the money to purchase a second
server, but for now we need to stick with one server. The only two
possible ways I found for creating a database backup are mysqldump and
mysqlhotcopy. Is there any other way I can use?
Thanks!

Replication. You can run multiple independent instances of MySQL
on the same server (but you need the CPU, memory, and disk resources
to do it) using independent port numbers, data directory locations,
socket, separate mysqld daemons, possibly separate UIDs, etc. You
distinguish which server to talk to by the port number or socket
location.
If load is an issue, it is possible to stop replication during the busy
period, then restart it during a lull, wait for replication to catch
up (SHOW SLAVE STATUS), stop replication again, and then mysqldump.
Thanks for your reply Gordon. Do you know of any tutorial that
explains how to achieve this?
Thanks again,
Antoni

I did a server upgrade and at the same time did a mysql update from

I use mysqldump to dump it to a file:

Hi there,
SUMMARY:
1) When I use phpadmin to export a large database, the file created on
my local PC never containes all the tables and information. It seems
to max out at about 10mb.
2) Will running mysqldump from command line on a live in-use DB (with
one table containing 350,000 rows) pose any risks and have any large
effect of current use?

We regularly make drive images of our entire server and store it at a
backup site. To be honest I have never fully understood how the imaging
programs deal with open files. My question is will the drive image make
a good copy of MySQL DB or should I be running a mysqldump before doing
the drive image?

My client is using a shared server running MySQL 2.4, however the in
house server is 4.1.12 with mysqldump 10.9. Is there a way to have the
10.9 version output a format that is fully compatible with 2.4?
Some of the CREATE TABLE statements in 10.9 are not accepted by 2.4.
Currently, I am not using any of the switches in creating the output
file other than the -u, -h and -p.
