Presenting mylvmbackup 0.1

Posted by Lenz Grimmer on
With all the recent buzz on Planet MySQL about using LVM to perform "semi-hot" backups of MySQL on Linux, I remembered that we once created such a Perl script for a server project that we worked on in cooperation with a hardware vendor. As this particular backup method was also mentioned and recommended in my talk about MySQL backup and security on Linux and the script hasn't actually been publicly available so far, I offered to take over the ownership and release it under the GPL. The first tarball release (0.1) is now available from this web page (still work in progress), the files are available via SVN from here as well. Make sure to see the README and TODO files for the current status. A man page is included, too. I hope you will find it useful - feedback is very welcome!
