phpMyIB -- MySQL Incremental Backup (uses php) |
|
|
|
|
| |
Since 2003 April, I was worried about redundant backups of my web databases. By November, it
became a mere necessity, since any modifications on the server needed to be reflected onto a local machine
such that periodic reports, printouts, financial analysis scripts etc can be run on the intranet. |
|
|
| |
I had enquired to several people about this at the linux-bangalore 2003
regarding taking icremental backups of running mysql databases, that too having transactional tables. Most
of the delegates told me that is not possible. |
|
|
| |
This gave me the challenge, and after many digging, and reading manuals, I came to know about mysql's bin-log
option which just logs only the changes and that too as the exact query which invoked the change. Precisely what I wanted. Starting in this
direction, with the my poor knowledge in programming (some php, some shell), have finally arrived at something which has changed my daily
backup nightmares |

| |
Now a days, instead of downloading 10 to 11 Mb bzipped full dump, I am getting uncompressed files less than 100 k every
hour and patching it to a locally running MySQL. |
