使用Xtrabackup备份MySQL数据库

MySQL数据库的备份，一直是个比较头痛的问题。各种工具虽然不少，但一个真正好用易用的，却又非常难找。Mysqldump做为数据的逻辑备份工具还行，但是无法进行在线热备，而没有物理备份工具，在数据量比较大的时候，恢复的时间也会长得无法接受。InnoDB倒是有个商业的InnoDB Hotbackup，可以对InnoDB引擎的表实现在线热备。最近发现了一个工具，percona出品的Xtrabackup，是InnoDB Hotbackup的一个开源替代品，可以在线对InnoDB/XtraDB引擎的表进行物理备份，试用了一下，非常的不错，值得向MySQL DBA们推荐。

下面是一个实际备份的例子，采用了gzip将备份流进行压缩，约20GB的数据库，压缩后大小为340MB，当然，压缩后的大小跟数据库中实际使用的空间是相关的。备份时间约6分44秒。

innobackupex是参考了InnoDB Hotbackup的innoback脚本修改而来的，主要是为了方便的同时备份InnoDB和MyISAM引擎的表，并且加入了一些使用的选项。如 –slave-info可以记录备份恢复后，作为slave需要的一些信息，根据这些信息，可以很方便的利用备份来重做slave。

注意，从备份后的tar包解包的时候，需要使用-i参数。最新发布的是0.7版，猛击这里下载

MySQL DBA们，你是如何做备份的呢？欢迎到这里探讨。
